Despite several criticisms over his work, President Duterte’s public satisfaction rating reached a new record-high in the second quarter of 2019 Social Weather Stations survey.
In the survey conducted from June 22 to 26 among 1,200 Filipinos, SWS found 80 percent satisfied, nine percent undecided, and 12 percent dissatisfied with the performance of Duterte.
This translates to a net satisfaction rating of +68 (percent satisfied minus percent dissatisfied), classified by SWS as “very good.”
The SWS pointed out that this is Duterte’s new personal record-high, surpassing the previous record of +66 in March 2019 and June 2017, although it remained “very good.”
It attributed the two-point rise in Duterte’s net satisfaction rating from March 2019 to June 2019 to an increase in the rest of Luzon, offset by declines in Mindanao, Visayas, and Metro Manila.
The President’s net satisfaction rating stayed very good in the rest of Luzon, at a new record-high +65 (78 percent satisfied, 13 percent dissatisfied) in June 2019, up from +56 (73 percent satisfied, 17 percent dissatisfied) in March 2019.
It stayed excellent in Mindanao, at +81 (88 percent satisfied, 8 percent dissatisfied) in June, although down from the record-high +88 (92 percent satisfied, five percent dissatisfied) previously.
It also remained very good in Visayas, at +66 (77 percent satisfied, 12 percent dissatisfied) in June, although down from +69 (81 percent satisfied, 12 percent dissatisfied) in March.
Likewise, it is still very good in Metro Manila, at +59 (73 percent satisfied, 14 percent dissatisfied) in June, although down from +61 (76 percent satisfied, 14 percent dissatisfied in the previous quarter. (Ellalyn Ruiz)
