JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Presidential spokesperson Andi Malarangeng was jolly to report Tuesday that a recent survey by the National Survey Agency (LSN) revealed that his boss would lead in the upcoming presidential election by 67 percent.
“Praise be to God, according to LSN survey, the Yudhoyono-Boediono pair leads by 67 percent,” Andi said on the sidelines of the commemoration of National Education Day 2009 in Bandung on Tuesday.
