Robredo rating ‘good,’ Sotto ‘very good’

THE satisfaction rating of Vice President Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo stayed “good,” despite a two-point dip, survey results released on Thursday showed.

The June 2018 survey of the Social Weather Stations, conducted from June 27 to 30, bared that 54 percent of 1,200 adults interviewed were satisfied with the performance of Robredo, while 22 percent were dissatisfied. Twenty-two percent of the respondents were undecided.

This was a two-point decline from Robredo’s May number. The SWS said this was due to the 5 and 2 points decrease in Balance Luzon and Metro Manila respectively, while there was a three-point increase in Visayas.

Sixty-seven percent were satisfied with Sotto’s work, while only 12 percent were dissatisfied.

His satisfaction rating was highest in Metro Manila at very good +63, followed by Balance Luzon at very good +59, the Visayas at very good +53, and Mindanao at good +38.

Thirty- one percent were satisfied with Alvarez, while 23 percent were dissatisfied. Thirty-sevem percent were dissatisfied.

Acting Chief Justice Antonio Carpio scored a “moderate” +11.
