Former President Rodrigo Duterte obtained an all-time high net satisfaction score of +81, with 88 percent of Filipino adults satisfied even before he stepped down from his post as President, results of the Social Weather Stations survey showed.

According to the polling firm's survey from 26 to 29 June, Duterte's approval rating rose by 10 points from 78 percent reported in April this year, while the number of people who were dissatisfied dropped from 13 to 7 percent. The percentage of undecided voters, however, decreased by four points from nine to five percent.

Even during his final days in the Malacañang, the former president broke his own record of a +79 net satisfaction in the November 2020 survey.

Duterte's net satisfaction rating was "excellent" on a national scale, with Metro Manila registering a 22-point gain from +63 to +85 and Balance Luzon from +60 to +75. His net satisfaction rating, however, jumped from +55 to +83 in the Visayas and from +83 to +90 in Mindanao.

Visayas, on the other hand, recorded its highest rating since December 2019, while his net satisfaction in Metro Manila and Balanced Luzon topped the previous record he established in November 2020, according to the polling firm.

SWS claimed to have obtained the results through in-person interviews with 1,500 Filipino individuals, with 300 conducted in each of the three regions of Metro Manila, the Visayas and Mindanao, and 600 in Balance Luzon. It noted that sampling error margins for national percentages are kept at ±2.5 percent, ±5.7 percent for Metro Manila, the Visayas, and Mindanao, and ±4.0 percent for Balance Luzon.
