JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): The most recent opinion poll, which focuses on the 2024 electoral outlook of young voters, has revealed that social media darlings and governors Ganjar Pranowo of Central Java and Anies Baswedan of Jakarta are young voters’ firm favourites and presidential hopefuls – edging out Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto in a three-horse race.

The survey, released by the Center for Strategic International Studies (CSIS) on Monday (Sept 26), polled close to 1,200 young voters aged 17 to 39 – otherwise known as members of Gen Z and millennials – from Aug 8 to 13, and had a margin of error of 2.84 per cent with a 95 per cent confidence level.
