Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali's popularity in the state has jumped to 62 percent, as revealed in a recent survey conducted by Selangor government-linked think tank Institut Darul Ehsan (IDE).

This was compared to his popularity in an August 2016 survey, which stood at 58 percent.

"This increase is a positive sign about his leadership in Selangor for the upcoming general election," IDE deputy chairperson Mohammad Redzuan Othman said in a statement today.
