SWS survey: Trust in Duterte still excellentFilipinos’ trust in President Rodrigo Duterte has slightly declined but remained “excellent” amid the government’s intensified anti-drug offensive, based on the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey results published on BusinessWorld. In the nationwide survey conducted last September 24–27 among 1,200 respondents, 83 percent said they have “much trust” in President Duterte, 9 percent were undecided, and 8 percent with “little trust” in him. This translates to a net trust rating of +76 (percentage much trust minus percentage little trust). President Duterte’s latest net trust rating is lower than the +79 (84 percent much trust, 5 percent little trust) net rating he received in June, but remained under the “excellent” category.
