Pulse Asia said that the duration of the survey coincided with reports of the request of Aquino for emergency powers to address the impending power shortage in 2015, Aquino’s expression of trust to embattled PNP Chief Director General Alan Purisima amid calls demanding his resignation, and the transmittal of the draft Bangsamoro Law to Congress.

The survey has a ± 3% error margin and pegged at 95% confidence level.
