But an opposition lawmaker on Thursday said that the decline in the President’s net satisfaction rating among the poor could be attributed to his “antipoor policies.”The SWS survey gave Mr. Duterte a “very good” net satisfaction rating of +56, a 2-point drop from his +58 rating in December. Roque said the ratings would continue to inspire Mr. Duterte and his Cabinet to make sure the fruits of sustained and inclusive growth would be felt by the poorest and marginalized sectors. Seventy percent of the 1,200 respondents were satisfied with Mr. Duterte’s work, down a point from December, while 14 percent were dissatisfied, up a point. Net satisfaction with Mr. Duterte—the percentage of satisfied minus percentage dissatisfied—was +56 in March from +58 in December 2017. However, by socioeconomic class, Mr. Duterte’s net satisfaction score plunged 17 points to +48 among class E respondents.
