Following her exit as education secretary, public satisfaction with Vice President Sara Duterte significantly dropped in the second quarter survey conducted by Social Weather Stations (SWS).

Results of the June 23 to July 1 survey released on Friday night showed that only 65 percent of the respondents were satisfied with the performance of the Vice President, down 10 points from the 75 percent she obtained in the March 2024 survey.

Some 21 percent of the respondents said they were dissatisfied, up from 13 percent, while 14 percent were undecided, up from 12 percent.

This gave Duterte a net satisfaction rating of +44, classified by SWS as “good.” It was down 19 points from the “very good” +63 that she obtained in the March survey.

The net satisfaction rating is derived by subtracting those who said they were satisfied from those who were dissatisfied with the performance of the government official.

SWS classifies net satisfaction ratings of at least +70 as “excellent,” +50 to +69 as “very good,” +30 to +49 as “good,”+10 to +29 as “moderate,” +9 to -9 as “neutral,” -10 to -29 as “poor,” -30 to -49 as “bad,” -50 to -69 as “very bad” and -70 and below as “execrable.”

Although she suffered a significant drop, Duterte’s satisfaction rating was still higher than that of President Marcos, who obtained a net satisfaction rating of “moderate” +27 (55 percent satisfied, 28 percent dissatisfied) in the June survey.

But unlike Duterte, Marcos enjoyed a slight improvement from the “moderate” +20 (50 percent satisfied, 31 percent dissatisfied) he obtained in March.

Satisfaction with the Vice President decreased across areas, including in her bailiwick Mindanao, from 88 percent in March to 82 percent in June.
