The first Social Weather Stations survey to measure public
satisfaction of presidential performance in the Duterte era found that
three-fourths (76 percent) of voting-age Filipinos declared
themselves satisfied with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. About a tenth,
or 11 percent, of respondents said they were dissatisfied, while 13
percent were undecided. The results of the September 24-27 survey were
released through BusinessWorld, which partners with SWS.
According to the SWS survey, President Duterte’s net satisfaction rating
in the first quarter of his term (percent satisfied minus percent
dissatisfied) was 64 percent (rounded off) — “very good” in the SWS
classification system and the second highest among post-Edsa presidents.
The same time in their respective terms, four
other presidents earned “very good” net satisfaction ratings: Benigno
Aquino III at 60 percent, Joseph Estrada also at 60 percent, and Corazon
Aquino at 53 percent. Only Fidel Ramos received a higher net rating
than Mr. Duterte, with 66 percent.
Gloria Arroyo, who came to power after Estrada was ousted
in 2001, received a net rating of 24 percent, which SWS classifies as
“moderate.”
SWS also found that the first president from Mindanao enjoyed
“excellent” support in Mindanao, with 88 percent satisfied and only 4
percent dissatisfied, for a net rating of 85 percent (rounded off).
Duterte earned “very good” net ratings in the other major geographical
blocs: 62 percent in the Visayas, 58 percent in Metro Manila, 57 percent
in “balance Luzon.”
The SWS polling organization noted that another survey it
conducted on June 24 to 27 measured the President’s net trust rating at
an “excellent” 79 percent.
Pulse Asia, the other major survey organization, estimated
President Duterte’s trust rating at 91 percent, as determined by its
survey conducted from July 2 to 8, or just days after the presidential
inauguration.
