Duterte rises 5 to 15%, becomes viable alternative to Binay - SWS

Another surprise: Davao City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte, who had said in February that he had no intention of running for the same post, similarly added 10 points to 15% from 5% previously -- putting him in third position with Local Government Secretary Manuel “Mar” A. Roxas II, who lost four points to 15% from 19%.

The survey says ... it's down and up

The SWS, via Businessworld, has been releasing piecemeal the results of its March 2015 survey. Last Monday, it was about the nosediving performance rating of PNoy. Today, the decline in the satisfaction rating of Binay.

Both downward trends have been widely expected by the people.

Actually, the much-awaited portion of the survey is about the preferences for the 2016 elections. Let's expect it to be released next Monday, if not earlier.

I believe the SWS results would affirm the earlier Pulse Asia poll which saw the spectacular entry of Mayor Rody Duterte into the rating game from 0% in November 2014 to 12% in early March.

A support level of 12-13% for this First Quarter polling would indeed be a great result.

It's clearly down for them, up for us!
