Analisis Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Pilihan Masyarakat Pada Pemilihan Umum: Studi Kasus Pada Pemilihan Umum Presiden Indonesia Tahun 2014.

Abstract

Religion and politics have long been highly controversial topics in society. There
is an ongoing debate about whether religion should influence a person's political choices, or
whether politics should be separated completely from religion. In many political events, a
politician who does not have good political performance even if he has the same religious views
is able to boost his popularity so that the politician can get a large number of votes. This study
aims to: (1) Know the perspectives of the Indonesian people in determining choices for
Indonesian leaders and (2) find out other supporting factors that influence society in a general
election. This research was conducted by Pembangunan Jaya University students Batch 2022
Management Study Program using the Library Research research approach and data sources
obtained from relevant literature. The result of the research is that religion and general elections
are the most frequently discussed topics and every time they are always associated with the
context of life in society, especially in the world of politics. Every politician who has a certain
religious background can influence the political support of the followers of that religion, but it
cannot be denied that one of the selling points to attract people's interest in supporting the
politician they choose is having the same religious beliefs. In addition, several factors that are
often used by the public as a consideration in electing a pair of President and Vice President
include: (1) Work programs offered by a politician, (2) Social image of a candidate, (3)
Background Behind a Candidate, and (4) Epistemic Issues. So with this in mind, community
participation is now very much needed in order to create a good state order.
