Pangasinan State U picks Marcos, Sara in poll survey

PRESIDENTIAL Candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio emerged as top choices for president and vice president, respectively, in the 2022 national elections as shown by a recent survey conducted by Pangasinan State University.

Based on the survey conducted by “Pulso ni PSU,” Marcos and Duterte were the top picks for president and vice president, respectively, among students at the state university.

The survey was participated by 16,837 randomly selected respondents from various campuses of PSU located in Eastern, Western, and Central Pangasinan and conducted for three days beginning on November 4.

The sample size of the survey represents almost 56 percent of PSU’s total student population.

Marcos ranked first in the presidential preference survey after garnering 64.96 percent or 10,938 of the total votes. Leni Robredo follows him with 9.41% or 1,585 votes, and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno with 3.44% or 580 votes.

According to the report analysis and interpretation, the PSU data indicates that Marcos would win the presidency via “a landslide victory” if the elections were held during the survey period.

Other Presidential candidates included in the survey were Senators Manny Pacquiao, Ping Lacson, Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, Grace Poe, together with Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte.

All got less than one percent of the votes except Poe, who obtained 1.28 percent or 215 votes. However, Sen. Poe had previously announced that she has no plans to run for President in 2022.
