President Benigno Aquino III’s satisfaction scores dropped to “good” in September from “very good” in June, according to a new survey by pollster Social Weather Stations.
The survey conducted from September 20 to 23 showed 68 percent were satisfied with Aquino’s performance, with 19 percent dissatisfied, for a net rating of +49.
September’s satisfaction rating was 15 points below the +64, a “very good” rating, Aquino scored in June, the SWS noted.
At the time of the survey, followers of Moro National Liberation Front founding chairman Nur Misuari had tried to occupy parts of Zamboanga City, before they were eventually repelled by government forces.
Also, public outrage over the pork barrel scam continued in September.
The SWS noted this was the fourth time Aquino’s score dipped below +50 since assuming his post in 2010.
However, it was also noted that though Aquino registered a low “good” of +42 in May 2012, he rebounded in August that year with a +67 “very good.”
The SWS survey results were posted on the BusinessWorld website on Monday.
