In September 2024, he was favored by 38 percent of voters, which rose to 51 percent by November 2024, culminating at 54 percent in the recent survey.
Conversely, Tambunting's support has seen a downward trajectory, declining from 44 percent in September 2024 to 38 percent in November 2024, and now 31 percent in April 2025.
