PRESS RELEASE: 42 days until election day, Aquino still leads in pre-election surveys

With a little more than a month to go until May 10, Liberal Party (LP) standard-bearer Benigno S. “Noynoy” Aquino III still leads in the pre-election surveys. Two broadsheet publications on Monday released the results of two polls that show the Liberal Party (LP) standard bearer is ahead in the presidential race.

In the latest survey of the Social Weather Stations (SWS) printed on Monday’s edition of Business World, Aquino leads at 37%, 9 percentage points ahead of his closest rival, Nacionalista Party (NP) bet Manuel Bamba Villar Jr , who trails behind at 28%.

Villar dropped 6 percentage points lower than his score during the February survey of the SWS. Deposed President Erap Estrada came in at third with 19%, while administration candidate Gilbert Teodoro remains in single-digits, holding at 6%.

The survey was conducted last March 19-22, on 2,100 registered voters nationwide, and showed that Aquino leads the race in terms of both socio-economic classes and geographic area, overtaking Villar in both the balance of Luzon and among classes ABC, and E.

Also on Monday, The Manila Standard Today released the results of its pre-election survey, wherein Aquino, scoring at 39%, has taken a 13% lead over Villar, who scored at 26%. Estrada and Teodoro garnered 17% and 6%, respectively.

The Standard survey also indicates a surge in Aquino’s popularity over the regions and the classes, noting that “[a]mong the very poor Aquino held a 12 point lead over Villar, or 39 percent to 27 percent.”

According to Pedro Laylo, the Standard’s resident pollster, “[s]upport for Villar is in the downtrend in urban areas specifically in the National Capital Region where he lost seven points while Aquino added eight more points.”

Meanwhile in the vice-presidential race, Aquino’s running mate, Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas, also enjoys a commanding lead in both the SWS and the Standard surveys, scoring at 42% and 39, respectively. His closest rival, the NP’s Loren Legarda, came in at 25% in the SWS survey, and at 29% in this month’s Standard survey.

LP General Campaign Manager Florencio “Butch” Abad attributes Aquino’s surge to strategic focus provided by former Senator Serge Osmeña, who has recently taken a leave of absence to focus on his own senatorial campaign, and to the tireless assistance of Aquino’s hundreds of thousands of dedicated volunteers.

Aquino has been campaigning on a platform of good governance and freedom from the culture of corruption that is a major cause of poverty in the country. Abad sees Aquino’s constant lead in the pre-election polls as indication that “the Filipino people continue to believe in Senator Noynoy Aquino’s ability to bring about a clean and compassionate government that will put an end to corruption and alleviate poverty.”

NOYNOY GETS WARM WELCOME IN VIGAN

NOY, MAR MOST TRUSTED 2010 CANDIDATES – PULSE ASIA

VILLAR SUFFERS BIG DROP, LEGARDA STILL DOWN

Liberal Party standard bearers Senators Benigno S. Aquino III and Mar Roxas are the candidates most trusted by Filipino voters among public figures and among all candidates running in the presidential and vice-presidential elections in May 10.

In contrast, voters’ trust for their rivals Sen. Manuel Villar and Sen. Loren Legarda declined, with Villar suffering a double-digit drop despite the more than P1 billion he had spent on TV and radio advertisements since last year.

These are the findings of the latest Pulse Asia survey conducted from February 21 to 25 among 1,800 respondents, which also showed Aquino and Roxas topping voters’ preferences for President and Vice President if elections were held today.

Pulse Asia said Aquino enjoyed the “big trust” of 64% of Filipino voters, making him the most trusted candidate for President. Only 14% of voters said they had “small/no trust” for Aquino, with the rest undecided.

Roxas, on the other hand, continued to enjoy the distinction of being the public figure with the highest trust among Filipino voters, with 70% of voters saying they have a “big trust” for him, with only 10% having “small/no trust” and the rest undecided.

Aquino’s high trust ratings is in contrast to Filipino voters’ perception of his main rival Villar, whose trust ratings dipped to 59% due to an 11-point drop among Filipinos with ”big trust” in him.

Legarda’s trust rating likewise went down to 58%, or a drop of 3% from her January trust rating.

Among the presidential candidates, former President Joseph Estrada came third, with 40%, followed by administration standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro with 29%. Sen. Dick Gordon came next with a 25% rating.

In the vice presidential race, Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay came third, with only 45%; former MMDA chief Bayani Fernando with 22% and by actor Edu Manzano, 19%.

The Pulse Asia trust survey validates results of recent pre-election preference surveys conducted by independents pollsters, where Aquino and Roxas thumped their rivals with wide margins.

Aquino and Roxas are campaigning on a platform of good governance and transformational leadership and have repeatedly vowed to make themselves examples that could be emulated by the rest in government, including a promise to open their bank accounts to public scrutiny to stress their commitment to wipe out graft and corruption in government.

Sa presidential survey, pinili si Villar ng 29 porsyento lamang ng mga botante, ayon sa Pulse Asia.

Kung boboto lahat ang 49 milyong rehistradong botante, lalamang si Aquino kay Villar ng 3.5 milyong boto base sa survey ng Pulse Asia.
