This should give him a boost.
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is starting his term with an excellent trust rating, according to the Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey conducted from Jun 24 to 27. The survey had 1,200 adult respondents nationwide and has a margin of error of plus/minus 3%.
“The SWS revealed that 84% of the survey respondents have much trust in the new President,” reports ABS-CBN News. Only 5% had little trust in him, while 11% were undecided. That translated to a net trust rating of 79%.
The report noted: “Duterte’s net score was close to the 83 percent net trust rating of his predecessor, Benigno Aquino III, when the latter assumed the presidency in 2010.”
Sought for the Palace’s reaction,Presidential Communications Office chief Martin Andanar said, “It’s a positive sign and very encouraging to know that the people trust the judgment, decisions and actions of the President. The mandate is clear, the government cannot stop what it has started.”
