Rodrigo Duterte Rating Increased - Looking forward to be the Next President

Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has increased his lead over his rivals in the presidential race, enjoying wide margins in all socioeconomic classes and capturing Metro Manila and Mindanao, results of a nationwide survey conducted on April 5-10 showed.

Duterte was ahead of his nearest rival by 18 points in the upper and middle classes, and by an almost insurmountable 42 points in his bailiwick, Mindanao.

But a political scientist said a fraction of the mayor’s supporters might consider another candidate in the wake of his joke about an Australian missionary who was raped in a hostage crisis in 1989.

Seven percentage points separated Duterte from Sen. Grace Poe, according to the Pulse Asia survey. Duterte got a preference rating of 32 percent, up by 2 points from 30 percent the previous week.

The rating of Poe was unchanged at 25 percent, while Vice President Jejomar Binay and administration candidate Mar Roxas were still tied in third place.

Binay got 20 percent, steady from the previous poll, while Roxas received 18 percent, down by a point. Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago got 1 percent. (See tables on this page.)

Pulse Asia interviewed 4,000 respondents and used a margin of error of plus-or-minus 1.5 percentage points.
