| | De Castro, Villar score highest ratings yet | | 2008-01-07 21:21:00 | | Cyril L. Bonabente, Inquirer ResearchMANILA, Philippines -- Vice President Noli de Castro, viewed by the opposition as the administration’s “most formidable” candidate in the 2010 presidential elections, has posted his highest net public satisfaction rating since assuming office in 2004, according to the latest Social Weather Stations survey. Sixty-four percent of respondents were satisfied with De Castro’s performance against 23 percent that were dissatisfied, for a net satisfaction rating of +41, the December 2007 Social Weather Survey showed. His rating in the September 2007 survey was +38. De Castro has scored positive ratings in all 14 quarterly SWS surveys that measured public satisfaction with his performance as vice president. His lowest rating was +19, recorded in March 2005. Another possible presidential candidate, Senate President Manuel “Manny” Villar Jr., also attained his record-high net rating of +59 (71 percent satisfied, 13 percent dissatisfied; difference due to rounding off) in the survey. Villar’s latest rating is 12 points higher than his rating in the previous quarter (+47). Villar’s lowest rating as Senate President was +39, recorded in December 2006. Public sentiment on the performance of Speaker Jose de Venecia and Supreme Court Chief Justice Reynato Puno remained divided or neutral. De Venecia got a net rating of +1 (37 percent satisfied, 37 percent dissatisfied; difference due to rounding off), an improvement over his September 2007 rating of -4. He had been receiving single-digit ratings since December 2004. Puno drew a rating of -2 (32 percent satisfied, 34 percent dissatisfied), three points higher than his previous rating. The Chief Justice has posted single-digit ratings since he was first included in the quarterly surveys in March 2007. Public satisfaction with the performances of top Philippine institutions declined significantly. The uncommissioned survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews with 1,200 Fili... | | By: Angat ang Pinoy | | |
