The July 9 presidential election is set for an extremely tight race, as a recent poll indicated on Wednesday that only a 3 percent gap remained between presidential hopefuls Prabowo Subianto and Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo.
A joint survey by the Washington-based International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) and the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI), which is affiliated with noted pollster Saiful Mujani, found that Prabowo had continued to gain in popularity.
Your comments:
Both Prabowo and Jokowi are good leaders. But choose the best one.

Don't be so sure. I've got a sinking feeling that Indonesia is about to do something very, very stupid.

Just to let you know, no media, anywhere in the world, is, or ever has been, independent.
It is remarkably dumb of you to think that the media can, was, could be or should be neutral.
Who gave you that idea?

I noticed a giant poster by the toll road in Jakarta yesterday, showing Jokowi and Jusuf Kalla with a large image of Megawati Soekarnoputri's smiling face above them.
For a moment I thought it might have been another part of Prabowo's smear propaganda campaign, but then I realized it must have been paid for by Jokowi's own campaign team.
