The satisfaction of Metro Manilans and Mindanaoans in the Duterte administration has declined but remained “good” in the past three months, the third quarter Social Weather Stations survey said.
In the survey conducted from Sept. 23 to 27 among 1,500 respondents, 49 percent were satisfied while 17 percent were dissatisfied with the Duterte Cabinet for a net satisfaction of “good” +32 (percentage of satisfied minus percentage of dissatisfied), two points below the +34 in June 2017 but similar to the +32 in March 2017.
The SWS attributed the two-point decline in the overall net satisfaction rating of the Cabinet due to decreases of eight points in Metro Manila and eight points in Mindanao, combined with a two-point increase in rest of Luzon, and a steady score in the Visayas.
The net satisfaction rating of the Duterte administration stayed good in the Visayas, at +39 in September, similar to +39 in June.
It stayed moderate in rest of Luzon, at +27 in September but up by two points from +25 in June. It stayed good in Mindanao at +37 in September although down by eight points from +45 in June.
