The trust and performance rating of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. improved, while Vice President Sara Duterte’s numbers slipped in the latest results of the OCTA Research survey.
Released on Tuesday, the second quarter Tugon ng Masa (TNM) Survey showed that 71% of adult Filipinos said they trust Marcos, which is 2% higher than the 69% recorded in the first quarter.
For Duterte, her trust rating went down to 65% from 68%.
“It must be noted that this is the second consecutive quarter that Duterte experienced a decline in her trust ratings, continuing the slide since the 4th quarter TNM survey conducted last December 2023,” OCTA said.
“It is also noted that this is the first time [Marcos] has registered a higher trust and performance rating than Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio based on TNM surveys in the last three years,” OCTA added.
Meanwhile, around 68% of adult Filipinos were still satisfied with Marcos’ performance, which is higher by 3% than the 65% recorded in the previous quarter.
For Duterte, her performance rating declined to 60% from 64%.
“It is noted that this is the second consecutive quarter in which her performance ratings recorded a decline,” OCTA said.
The survey was conducted from June 30 to July 5, 2024 and done through face-to-face interviews of 1,200 male and female respondents aged 18 years and above, according to OCTA.
OCTA said the survey has a ±3% margin of error at a 95% confidence level. For the subnational estimates for the geographic areas, Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao have a ±6% margin of error.
