What could surveys firm SWS’s president Mahar Mangahas’s personal thoughts on the recent findings of his poll firm be today? He’d have to make a statement in the context of what he said in the past considering that his survey says that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is rated excellent by the Filipino public in the First Quarter of 2019.
81 percent were satisfied with the national government’s general performance, 10 percent were undecided, and 9 percent were dissatisfied.
This yielded a +72 net satisfaction rating, 6 points higher than the +66 it achieved in the previous quarter.
Compare this to Mangahas’s personal assessment of Duterte’s numbers back in 2017…
{Mangahas} said a rating of “good” signifies that the leader is still enjoying a “honeymoon stage,” a phase which former President Benigno Aquino enjoyed the longest. Aquino retained his “good” ratings for more than 3 years, he said.
Of course, survey results are subject to a level of confidence based on the quality (randomness, degree of representation, and size) of the sample on which they were derived. Still, the fact that the SWS published it means they stand by the message it potentially sends out.
