Former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and his running mate, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, topped Pulse Asia’s latest survey on presidential and vice presidential aspirants for the 2022 elections.
The survey, conducted from December 1 to 6 and the first pre-election poll done after the filing of candidacy, showed Marcos scoring 53%, ahead of Vice President Leni Robredo, who scored 20%.
Marcos’ lead is anchored on his 64% rating in Mindanao, the bailiwick of Sara Duterte, daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte. Marcos is the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
Ranking far third are Manila mayor Isko Moreno (real name: Francisco Domagoso) and Senator Manny Pacquiao, who both scored an 8% rating.
Senator Panfilo Lacson settled for 6%, while retired General Antonio Parlade Jr., Labor leader Leody de Guzman, and former National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales all scored less than 1%.
There were also 5% who were undecided.
Meanwhile, Sara Duterte dominated the survey for vice presidential aspirants with 45%. This is the first pre-election survey that listed her as a vice presidential aspirant. She had been a frontrunner in previous surveys on possible presidential candidates.
Ranking second to Sara Duterte is Lacson’s running mate, Senate President Vicente Sotto III, with 31%, followed by Robredo’s running mate, Senator Kiko Pangilianan, with 12%.
Moreno’s running mate, Dr. Willie Ong, scored 6% while Pacquiao’s vice presidential bet, House Deputy Speaker Lito Atienza, had 1%.
Walden Bello, de Guzman’s running mate, scored less than 1%.
Pulse Asia said nationwide survey is based on a sample of 2,400 representative adults 18 years old and above, and has a ± 2% error margin at the 95% confidence level.
“Subnational estimates for each of the geographic areas covered in the survey (i.e., Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao) have a ± 4% error margin, also at 95% confidence level,” it added. —KBK, GMA News
