Outgoing President Rodrigo 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, some 75 percent of its 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.
“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.
“Based on our numbers, we can expect President Duterte to retain an unprecedented amount of political capital for a former president when he leaves Malacañang on June 30. When private citizen Duterte speaks up on the issues, many will listen. When he endorses a candidate, many will vote for them,” Sinsuat added.
