Meanwhile, 41 percent of respondents nationwide either refused to pick a candidate or were not sure who to vote for.
SWS said the national survey used face-to-face computer-assisted personal interviews with 1,200 adults nationwide — 300 each in Metro Manila, Balance of Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
The sampling has an error margin of ±3% for national percentages and ±6% each for Metro Manila, Balance of Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
