MANILA, Oct 7 (NNN-PNA) – Philippine President, Rodrigo Duterte, continues to enjoy high performance and trust ratings, three years into his six-year presidential term, according to an independent poll released today (Monday).
A survey by Pulse Asia Research Inc., conducted from Sept 16 to 22, 2019, showed 78 percent of the 1,200 Filipinos aged 18 and above surveyed nationwide, approved of the way Duterte runs the country.
The public opinion polling body said, Duterte enjoys “majority approval ratings across all geographic areas and socioeconomic classes.”
The survey further showed, 74 percent of those polled continue to trust the 74-year-old Philippine president.
However, Duterte’s approval rating in this latest survey is lower than the 85 percent approval rating he got, in the June, 2019 survey.
“Appreciation for presidential performance eases during the period from June to Sept, 2019, in the country as a whole,” the survey said.
Duterte assumed the presidency in 2016. His single six-year term will end in 2022.– NNN-PNA
