MANILA, Philippines – The latest snapshot of public opinion reveals that the electorate is troubled by integrity questions against candidates, Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said.
In a statement, on the SWS March 2016 Pre-Election Survey, the presidential spokesperson said that “At the same time it shows the continuing consolidation and expansion of voter preference for the tandem of continuity, integrity, and reform.”
Lacierda added that “Despite the mudslinging and concerted attacks against the administration and its record of public service, not only has the Daang Matuwid coalition endured—but it is gaining ground as our fellow citizens continue to ask tough questions and demand concrete solutions from all the candidates.”
Results of the latest BusinessWorld-SWS Pre-election Survey conducted last March 4-7 via face-to-face interviews with 1,800 validated voters and with a ±2-point sampling error margin, was published on May 13 at BusinessWorld.
It was said that the results of the latest survey may reflect the public’s reaction to the first public debate among presidential candidates that took place in Cagayan de Oro City last Feb. 21.
