SWS-Stratbase poll shows Marcos trust rating up by 10 percentage points

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s trust rating increased by 10 percentage points from 38% in May to 48% in June, an SWS survey commissioned by Stratbase showed.

According to a survey conducted among 1,200 Filipino adults across the country from June 25 to 29, 48% expressed a great deal of trust in Marcos, 30% had little trust, and 21% were undecided.

Stratbase said respondents were asked to assess their level of trust in key government officials using the following categories: very much, somewhat much, undecided if much or little, somewhat little, and very little. The survey has a ±3% margin of error.

Those who had much trust in Vice President Sara Duterte went up by a percentage point from 60% in May to 61% in June. Twenty-three percent had little trust in the Vice President, and 14% were undecided in the latest poll

Those who said they had much trust in Senate President Francis Escudero increased from 47% in May to 55% in June. Twenty-three percent said they had little trust in Escudero, while 21 percent were undecided in the most recent survey.

Speaker Martin Romualdez’s “much trust” increased from 26% in May to 34% in June. Thirty-four percent also had little trust, while 27% were undecided.

“The significant increase in President Marcos’ trust rating signals a possible renewed public confidence in his administration,” Stratbase Group President Prof. Victor Andres “Dindo” Manhit said.

“He must sustain these trust ratings since they are crucial indicators of political stability and governance performance,” he added. – NB, GMA Integrated News
