NOY SATISFACTION RATING UP IN Q3 - SWS

President Aquino’s net satisfaction rating went up by 10 percentage points in the latest survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS).

The SWS Third Quarter of 2011 survey, conducted from Sept. 4 to Sept. 7, showed the President’s net satisfaction rating at a “very good” +56 from the “good” +46 in June.

“This is further evidence that the overwhelming majority of Filipinos who choose to keep open minds are clearly getting the President’s message; and that they are experiencing the positive changes in this country,” presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said yesterday of the survey results.

The SWS poll also found 70 percent of the respondents satisfied with Aquino’s performance, up from 64 percent in June. Those who said otherwise accounted for 14 percent, an improvement from the previous 18 percent.

A two-point drop, however, was recorded in Metro Manila although the figure was still at “good” +41 (61 percent satisfied, 20 percent dissatisfied).

In the rest of Luzon, Aquino’s net satisfaction rating rose by 22 points to “very good” +63 from “good” +41 (60 percent satisfied, 19 percent dissatisfied).

He also maintained “very good” scores in the Visayas and Mindanao, at +52 (70 percent satisfied, 18 percent dissatisfied) and +55 (68 percent satisfied, 14 percent dissatisfied), respectively. The net satisfaction rating is obtained by subtracting the percentage of dissatisfied respondents from the satisfied.
