Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam is in pole positionTan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who secured about twice the number of nominations as his competitors for the deputy president's post, is now said to be lagging behind his closest rival, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, who has the support of 54 per cent of delegates compared to his 35 per cent.
Another candidate, Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib, remained in third place with 11 per cent of the votes in the survey conducted by Prof Dr Abu Hassan Hasbullah's Zentrum Future Studies Malaysia of the university.
The survey had some 2,030 respondents, including 163 Umno delegates.In the same survey among members of other political parties, including Barisan Nasional components, 66 per cent preferred Muhyiddin, while 48 per cent of the public felt he should hold the post.
The survey of Umno ordinary members showed that 47 per cent wanted Ali as deputy president. However, if the numbers were lumped together, the difference in support for Ali and Muhyiddin was a mere two per cent, with the former securing 43 per cent.
The micro study on Political Influences of the 2009 party election, in detailing the strengths and weaknesses of the three candidates, said that a majority of candidates concurred that Muhyiddin was the most "intelligent, charismatic", the candidate with the best "international relations" and the one with "leadership".He was also the one that "people trusted the most", the report said, adding that Muhyiddin was also viewed as the least corrupt.
However, he lost out to Ali in terms of "popularity, diplomacy" and "political experience".Muhammad was picked as the most experienced candidate but was also viewed by respondents as the one with the most problems related to perceptions on nepotism, cronyism and corruption.He recorded 48 per cent, compared with Ali and Muhyiddin, with 29 and 23 per cent, respectively.
