I have stopped conducting my own surveys. I am too busy lately for politics.
Herewith is the latest SWS Survey according to Professor Dindo Manhit.
Good day,
The Social Weather Stations (SWS) released the results of its February 2016 Pre-Election Survey.
Despite having a two-point drop in preference, Vice President Jejomar Binay still led the presidential race with 29% from 31%, followed by Sen. Grace Poe, who retained her 24%. Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte rose to third place, rising by four points to 24%, while former DILG Secretary Mar Roxas came in fourth, dropping by three percentage points from his previous 21% to 18%. Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago is still the least preferred candidate, although her rating rose by a point from 3% to 4%.
Sen. Bongbong Marcos became the most preferred candidate among six vice presidential candidates with a 26-percent preferential rate, while Sen. Francis Escudero, who previously led the survey with 28%, dropped by two points to 26%.
Rising by two percentage points are 3rd District of Camarines Sur Representative Leni Robredo from 17% to 19%, and Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano from 14% to 16%. On the other hand, Sen. Gregorio Honasan dropped by two points to 6% from his previous 8%, and Sen. Antonio Trillanes, although increasing by two points from 3% to 5%, still
remained to be the least preferred candidate.
For the senatorial preferences, the top twelve candidates were Sen. Vicente Sotto III (52%), former Sen. Panfilo Lacson (49%), Sen.
