MANILA (Mabuhay) — President Rodrigo Duterte scored high approval and trust ratings in his first three months in office, a Pulse Asia survey showed.
The results, released on Wednesday, showed that Duterte got 86 percent on both approval and trust ratings of the survey, conducted on a sample of 1,200 adults nationwide from September 25 to October 1.
This is the first performance-rated Pulse Asia survey under Duterte’s term.
Some 11 percent were undecided on both approval and trust components.
Meanwhile, 3 percent disapproved of the President and 3 percent noted “small/no trust.”
Duterte got the highest approval rating from Mindanao, with 93 percent of respondents appreciating his work. This is followed by Visayas (88 percent), Balance Luzon (84 percent), and National Capital Region (80 percent).
Pulse Asia noted that “ambivalence” toward Duterte’s performance “is more pronounced than outright disapproval.” (MNS)
