APAPC (Asia Pacific Association of Political Consultants) is an international organization whose main purpose is to promote democracy. It has commissioned Roy Morgan Research to provide a neutral monthly political monitor to the media and the people of Indonesia.

The latest polling conducted in April 2012 shows an increase for support for Aburizal Bakrie as the most popular candidate at 22% (up 4 points from March 2012), overtaking Prabowo Subiyanto who is flat at 20%.

However when you take into consideration a second or more choices, then Prabowo still attracts a larger number jumping to 34% and is at no.1, while Aburizal only climbs to 30% at no.2.
