The survey also found that 44% of Alex Noerdin supporters in the first round will also vote Jokowi, 28% for Fauzi, and the balance undecided. Alex Noerdin's party, Golkar, endorses Fauzi in the second round of the election.

How about those voted for Hidayat Nur Wahid, losing candidate from Prosperous Justice Party (PKS)? The survey found 57% will vote for Fauzi, 30% for Jokowi, and 13% undecided. Like Golkar, PKS also endorses Fauzi in the race. Hidayat Nur Wahid got 508,113 votes in the first round.

LSI said that majority of Jokowi and Fauzi supporters in the first round will likely maintain their choice in the second round.

Jokowi, based on the official vote counting, wins the first round held on July 11, with 1.847.157 (42,6%) votes, while Fauzi got 1.476.648 (34,05%) votes. The second round of the election needs to be held because none of them win more than 50% votes. ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )
