        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 Although Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has\nrepeatedly faced controversy over his diploma, as well as calls for\nimpeachment and criticism, he remains among the top five in several\nelectability surveys.<\/p>\n<p>Political analyst Adi Prayitno, who is also executive director of\nParameter Politik Indonesia, has identified a key factor behind Gibran\u2019s\nsurvey performance. He said the Vice-President\u2019s position near the top\nof various surveys was closely linked to his popularity, which has\nreached a large proportion of Indonesians.<\/p>\n<p>In several surveys, Gibran ranked behind Prabowo Subianto, Dedi\nMulyadi and Anies Baswedan, while ahead of other national figures,\nincluding Ganjar Pranowo and Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know the Vice-President\u2019s popularity is significant \u2014 above 90\nper cent. Compared with others, whose figures are still around 70 to 80\nper cent, public awareness of them is not as widespread,\u201d Adi said on\nWednesday (21 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Adi said public recognition was an important factor in electability\nsurveys, particularly when respondents were asked to name a presidential\ncandidate without prompting. Figures who are widely known are more\nlikely to be named than politicians whose recognition is less\nwidespread.<\/p>\n<p>This helps explain why Gibran continues to appear near the top of\nsurveys despite facing persistent political criticism. Adi acknowledged\nthat attacks on Gibran have been particularly prominent compared with\nthose against several other political figures, but said this was not\nnew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attacks are clearly focused on Gibran, but that is not unusual.\nThey have been coming one after another since his candidacy in 2024,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Adi also cautioned that high popularity does not necessarily\ncorrespond to electability. Although more than 90 per cent of the public\nrecognise Gibran, the survey figures suggest he still faces a challenge\nin converting that recognition into political support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it is understandable that the Vice-President is in the top five.\nBut given his high popularity, what does being in the top five mean? It\nmeans that, among those who know the Vice-President, the proportion who\nwould choose him is not dominant,\u201d Adi said.<\/p>",
