Jakarta (B2B) - Hasil survei dari lembaga penelitian Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) menemukan sekitar 45% calon pemilih masih ragu-ragu terhadap pilihannya pada Pemilu Legislatif pada 9 April 2014.
"Survei ini menemukan kontestasi politik, baik untuk pemilu legislatif atau pemilihan presiden relatif masih ketat, terutama karena sekitar separuh responden menyatakan bahwa pilihan mereka masih bisa berubah," kata Peneliti CSIS Philips Jusario Vermonte dalam jumpa pers di Jakarta, Senin.
Salah satu alasan para pemilih tersebut ragu-ragu hingga bisa mengubah pilihan mereka adalah keterlibatan partai politik dalam kasus tindak pidana korupsi yang bisa saja muncul menjelang hari pemungutan suara.
Dari hasil wawancara tatap muka terhadap 1.200 responden, CSIS mendapati 45,8% pemilih belum pasti atau masih bisa mengubah pilihan, 42,4% sudah memiliki pilihan pasti dan 11,8% memilih abstain.
Sementara itu, terkait dengan pilihan masyarakat terhadap 12 parpol nasional peserta Pemilu, Partai Hanura berada di posisi teratas dengan jumlah pemilih yang yakin untuk mencoblos partai tersebut.
"Dari hasil penelitian kami, pemilih Hanura yang banyak sudah mantap pada parpol pilihan mereka. Dengan kata lain, Hanura relatif telah berhasil memantapkan para pemilihnya yang 62,5 persen menyatakan pilihannya sudah pasti," jelas Philips.
Setelah Hanura, pemilih PKS mendapatkan 58,5% pemilih yakin, kemudian disusul Partai Golkar dengan persentase 57,9% pemilih.
Pemilih yang sudah meyakini pilihannya pada Partai Gerindra ada 52,9%, PPP 52,4%, PDI Perjuangan 48,1%, Nasional Demokrat 44,7%, Partai Demokrat 43,5%, PAN 38,6%, PKB 36,3% dan sisanya sebanyak 3,2% belum menentukan pilihan.
Survei tersebut dilakukan pada 7 - 17 Maret, dengan melibatkan 1.200 responden yang diwawancarai secara acak dan bertingkat dari tingkat RT, kepala keluarga dan terakhir para responden itu sendiri.
