Interestingly, 54 percent of Malay respondents said Anwar was qualified to be prime minister while only 28 percent said the same for Najib.
Among first-time voters, 48 percent of respondents believed Anwar to be qualified as prime minister while 25 percent of respondents said the same for Najib.
However, Najib has a slight edge in terms of "friendly-ness" compared to Anwar.
Fifty four percent of respondents believe Najib to be more "people-friendly" compared to 46 percent who said the same for Anwar.
“Of course Najib is higher (in the polls). He appears on TV almost every day, compared to Anwar who only appears when there is something not good about him,” said Umcedel director Mohd Redzuan Othman at a press conference today.
