Senator Bong Go is the top senatorial preference in the latest Pulse Asia pre-electoral survey, overtaking the top spot from ACT-CIS Partylist Representative Erwin Tulfo.

According to the polling firm, Go will be the top senator if election was conducted from 20 to 26 February, the survey period.

“Out of 64 senatorial candidates, 13 have a statistical chance of winning, with Senator Christopher Go and ACT-CIS Party-List Representative Erwin Tulfo sharing 1st and 2nd places (58.1% and 56.5%, respectively),” the survey results read.

The other probable winners in the May 2025 senatorial election are:

1) Former senate president Vicente Sotto III (49.0%, 3rd to 4th places);

2) Senator Ramon Revilla Jr. (46.1%, 3rd to 6th places);

Those who did not make it to the so-called "Magic 12" were Senator Imee Marcos, former senators Bam Aquino, Kiko Pangilinan, former DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos, and actor Philip Salvador.

The polling firm said that indecision on the matter of whom to vote for as senator in the coming elections is expressed by 3.4% of registered voters.

“The rest of the country's electorate either does not support any senatorial candidate (2.6%) or refuse to identify their preferred candidates for the Senate (1.7%),” it said.
