A survey by Selangor government think tank Institut Darul Ehsan (IDE) found that when asked to choose between Perikatan Nasional (PN) and the BN-Pakatan Harapan coalition, the latter was leading in Malay support in the state.
Out of 978 Malay respondents in the survey, IDE found that 47.6 percent favoured the BN-Harapan pact, 27.2 percent supported PN, while 14.5 percent were undecided.
The survey conducted from May 12 to 15 this year was randomly stratified across the 56 state constituencies in Selangor. The survey comprised all races and involved a total of 1,692 respondents.
Each respondent was met face-to-face and keyed in their responses through IDE’s e-Survey application on a tablet.
Based on IDE’s 15th general election data, the opposition coalition was consistently the top choice for Malays in Selangor aged 18 to 60 years old.
However, PN’s popularity among Malays in each group during GE15 was below 50 percent, indicating that IDE’s survey results that BN-Harapan combined could come out ahead in Malay votes during the state polls.
Overall, 58 percent of the 1,692 respondents favoured the BN-Harapan pact, 26 percent of respondents were on the fence, and 16 percent preferred PN.
As for youths aged 18 to 24 years old - which were 267 people of the total respondents - 50 percent supported BN-Harapan, 33 percent were on the fence, and 17 percent favoured PN.
