A majority of Filipinos continue to trust and approve of the performance of President Marcos and Vice President Sara Duterte, according to the third quarter survey conducted by the OCTA Research group.

But while Marcos' ratings were stable, Duterte saw a further decline in her numbers, the survey conducted from Sept. 4 to 7 showed. Based on the results released on Thursday, 66 percent of the 1,200 respondents said they were satisfied with the performance of the President, down two points from 68 percent in a similar survey in July.

Those who were dissatisfied with him increased from 10 percent to 12 percent. The rest were undecided.

The survey also found that 69 percent of the respondents trust Marcos, down from 71 percent in the previous survey. Distrust with the President increased from 10 percent to 11 percent.

OCTA noted that Marcos' ratings, while down two points from July, remain "statistically unchanged" as the numbers are within the poll's margin of error of plus/minus two percent.

It was different for Duterte, who saw an eight-point drop in her performance rating, from 60 percent in July to 52 percent in September.
