THE administration of President Rodrigo Duterte got a record-high satisfaction rating that surpassed the record of his predecessor, according to the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey. The rating yielded a new record-high net satisfaction rating of 70 percent, which the SWS classified as “excellent”“This is a 12-point rise, and up by one grade, from the very good +58 (71 percent satisfied, 13 percent dissatisfied) in September 2017,” SWS said. The result is the highest net satisfaction rating since the +66 June 2013 rating of the administration of then president Benigno Aquino 3rd, the pollster added. SWS attributed the Duterte administration’s gains to new record-high net satisfaction scores in Mindanao, Metro Manila, and Luzon, combined with a “steady” score in the Visayas. Net satisfaction ratings also saw a rise in class D or the masa, at a new record-high +71 in December.
