75% of Pinoys satis ed with Marcos

MANILA — About seven in every 10 Filipinos are satisfied with the performance of President Marcos in the last quarter of 2022, according to a survey conducted by Social Weather Stations (SWS).

The SWS on Tuesday, February

14 released the full details of its Dec. 10 to 14 survey on the performance of the President, which showed public satisfaction increasing from 71 percent in October to 75 percent. Dissatisfaction hardly moved from eight percent to seven percent, while those who were undecided dropped from 21 percent to 18 percent.

As reported earlier, Marcos’ resulting net satisfaction rating for December was “very good” +68, up from the “very good” +63 in the October survey.

The net satisfaction rating is the rounded off difference between those who said that they are satisfied and dissatisfied with the performance of a particular government official.

SWS classifies net satisfaction ratings of at least +70 as “excellent”; +50 to +69 as “very “good”; +30 to +49 as “good”; +10 to +29 as “moderate”; +9 to -9 as “neutral”; -10 to -29 as “poor”;
