Conducted by Ilham Centre, the July 11-27 survey took into account feedback from 2,416 respondents in the six states which will head to the polls tomorrow.

“I don’t agree with that (poll). It is a flawed analysis, or probably they (Ilham Centre) are taking (the data from) Kelantan and comparing it with Selangor.

“But in many other states, we (unity government) are doing extremely well. I am very optimistic,” he told reporters after performing his Friday prayers at a mosque here.

In a summary of its findings, Ilham Centre revealed that the state elections would be a testing ground to determine the pattern of Malay votes in the peninsula following a change in voting trends seen in the last general election (GE15).

It noted that the 24% of Malay support for Anwar was in contrast to the support the prime minister enjoys from the Chinese (88%), Indians (81%) and others (75%).

Overall, 42% of the respondents said they were satisfied with Anwar’s performance.

In terms of popularity, the survey found that Anwar, his unity government, and the Madani policies were highly rated in Pakatan Harapan-led states such as Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.

However, the same could not be said for the states under Perikatan Nasional – Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.
