Outgoing President Rodrigo R. Duterte will step down from office as “the most popular president of the post-Edsa 1 era”, according to the latest PUBLiCUS survey.
In PUBLiCUS’ PAHAYAG Second Quarter survey conducted from June 16 to 22, results showed 75 percent of 1,500 respondents approved or strongly approved of Duterte’s job performance during his six-year term.
Only 10 percent of respondents said they disapproved or strongly disapproved of the President’s performance since 2016.
As for trust ratings, 69 percent of respondents rated their trust in Duterte as high or very high. Only 11 percent said they put little or no trust in Duterte.
“Our numbers indicate that President Rodrigo Duterte will leave office as the most popular president of the post-EDSA I era. No other president who served under the 1987 Constitution has ended his or her term with majority approval and trust ratings, much less a supermajority of public support,” PUBLiCUS Executive Director Aureli Sinsuat said in a statement.
‘Most impactful’
Meanwhile, 75 percent of respondents said the overall impact of the Duterte administration on national development was slightly or very positive -- identical to the outgoing President’s total approval rating.
