Marcos trust and performance ratings up, VP Sara Duterte suffers drop

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has received a boost in his trust and performance ratings for the 2nd Quarter of 2025, while Vice President Sara Duterte experienced a decline, results of the latest OCTA Research survey showed.

Based on the Tugon ng Masa survey conducted from July 12 to 17, OCTA Research said Marcos received a 64% trust rating, a four-percentage point increase from his previous one. 

His performance rating also got a three-point increase, climbing up to 62% within the survey’s margin of error.

OCTA said Marcos  reversed the downward trend on ratings that he experienced since the 4th Quarter of 2024 and received the highest trust and performance ratings among the top officials surveyed  for this quarter. 

Meanwhile, Duterte’s ratings dropped—with a  four-point decrease leading to her 54% trust rating and a six-point decrease bringing her performance rating to 50%.

Despite this, Marcos and Duterte continue to hold majority support with their ratings above the 50% mark. 

GMA News Online reached out to the offices of Marcos and Duterte for comment on the matter and will publish it once available.

Chiz sees decline, Romualdez sees improvements 

Senate President Chiz Escudero had a four- point decrease for both his trust and performance ratings, bringing his ratings to  51% and 49%, respectively. 

Meanwhile, House Speaker Martin Romualdez’s ratings increased for the 2nd Quarter, becoming the only top government official to experience improvements along with Marcos.

Romualdez had a 3-point increase on both his trust rating, currently at 57%, and his performance rating, which is now at 62%.

Data for the survey was gathered through face-to-face interviews of 1,200 individuals aged 18 and up nationwide.

The survey had a ±3% margin of error at a 95% confidence level. 

The survey was conducted after the Senate, sitting as an impeachment court, convened, and prior to the Supreme Court decision on the impeachment case of Duterte and the recent effects of the bad weather.— Jiselle Anne Casucian/AOL, GMA Integrated News
