In the survey, the respondents were asked: “Please tell me how satisfied or dissatisfied you are in the performance of Duterte as President of the Philippines. Are you very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, undecided if satisfied or dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, very dissatisfied?”

The administration received a net satisfaction rating of “very good” +61, helping the poor got a “very good” +54, and the campaign against illegal drugs received a “good” +46.
