PRESIDENT Duterte
Majority of Filipinos expressed satisfaction with the Duterte administration’s performance in the last quarter of 2018, based on the Social Weather Stations survey results released on Tuesday.
In the nationwide survey conducted from Dec. 16 to 19, 2018 among 1,440 adult respondents, SWS found 76 percent of Filipinos satisfied, 15 percent neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and 9 percent dissatisfied with the general performance of the current national administration.
This translates to a net satisfaction rating of +66 (percent satisfied minus percent dissatisfied), classified by SWS as “very good.”
SWS pointed out that the latest net rating is 16 points higher than the very good +50 (65 percent satisfied, 15 percent dissatisfied) in September 2018.
SWS terminology for net satisfaction ratings are translated as follows: +70 and above as “excellent,” +50 to +69 “very good,” +30 to +49 “good,” +10 to +29 “moderate,” +9 to –9 “neutral,” -10 to –29 “poor,” -30 to –49 “bad,” -50 to –69 “very bad,” and -70 and below “execrable.”
