JAKARTA - With just over a month to go to an Indonesian election, President Joko Widodo holds a double-digit lead over his challenger, retired general Prabowo Subianto, according to an opinion poll released this week.
Widodo appears to be enjoying an advantage as the incumbent this time, with several recent surveys showing him likely to win about 55 percent of the vote, while Prabowo - as he is known in Indonesia - trails with about 32 percent. Several other pollsters, including Populi Center, Cyrus Network, and Australia-based Roy Morgan, also showed Widodo with a similar lead over his rival based on surveys conducted in January.
The challenger’s running mate, private equity tycoon Sandiaga Uno, has appeared to generate a buzz on the campaign trail while also proving popular online, especially among young voters and women.
