Pro-Duterte Pinoys down, pro-Marcos slightly up – OCTA
The Philippine Star|October 15, 2024
More Filipinos identify themselves as pro-Marcos than pro-Duterte, with "independents" or those not affiliated with any group making up a significant chunk, based on the latest survey by OCTA Research.
By JANVIC MATEO

The survey, conducted from Aug. 28 to Sept. 2, found that pro-Marcos respondents made up 38 percent, up two points from 36 percent obtained in a similar survey in June.

Among the respondents, 15 percent said they support the Duterte family and their political allies, down one point from 16 percent.

While the changes were nominal and within the poll's margin of error, OCTA said the trend showed increasing preference for Marcos and a decreasing one for Duterte.

Seven percent said they support the opposition, up two points from the five percent obtained in the June survey.

OCTA said 26 percent were independents, described as those who "neither support the Marcos administration, the Dutertes nor the opposition." It was down six points from the previous poll.
