LSI Survey Reveals Secrets Behind Dedi Mulyadi's 95.4 Percent Approval Rating

Bandung (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) stated that the high level of public satisfaction with West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi (KDM) is influenced by his governmental performance, communication style, and use of social media. LSI Executive Director Djayadi Hanan in Bandung on Thursday said that with internet penetration in West Java reaching 84 percent, Dedi Mulyadi’s content on social media helps shape positive public perception. “Eighty-four percent of West Java’s population is connected to the internet, and most use the internet through social media. Positive evaluations of KDM are also influenced by the positive content Dedi Mulyadi delivers almost daily,” said Djayadi. “This governor is one of the most popular among the public, with his popularity reaching nearly 100 percent. His communication style is considered very populist and has a humanitarian touch regarding the daily lives of the people,” he added. Djayadi added that the survey did not calculate the magnitude of each factor’s contribution to the level of public satisfaction. However, the figure of the regional head and the implementation of government programmes are the two most prominent aspects. “The figure factor and the programme factor, when looking at the survey in West Java, are indeed the two most prominent factors influencing the public’s positive evaluation of the Governor,” he said.
