Most of INQUIRER.net’s readers found President Rodrigo Duterte’s second State of the Nation Address “very good,” even with his lengthy rambles and profanities, an online poll showed.
INQUIRER.net’s #INQPoll, which ran from 7:00 p.m. on Monday to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, asked the public “How did you find #DuterteSona2?”
The choices were: “very good,” “good,” “bad,” and “very bad.”
Readers on Facebook approved Duterte’s Sona with more than half, or 51 percent, of the voters chose “very good,” while 31 percent answered “good.”
“Very bad” and “bad” each got 24 and 11 percent.
Users on Viber and Line believed the same, with “very good” garnering 105 and 72 votes, respectively, on each platform.
Viber got a total of 164 votes and Line got 87.
However, INQUIRER.net’s followers on Twitter disapproved of Duterte’s address, with “very bad” topping at 36 percent of the total 4,506 votes.
“Very good” came close at 27 percent, followed by “good” at 20 percent, and “bad” at 17 percent.
Duterte’s second Sona, which lasted for 120 minutes, is the longest Sona in Philippine history.
The INQUIRER.net poll is not a scientific survey. It is an interactivity tool that can, within its limits, reflect the interests of online readers. /atm
