Watching the polls — in UK and PH EDITORIAL 0 SHARES Share it! The elections, we hope, will also help restore the role of opinion polls in democratic governance. Apart from elections , opinion polls are a means to enable officials of governments what the nation believes and how it feels about certain issues. Today, according to our own opinion polls in he Philippines, President Duterte enjoys high public support even when he seems to take excessive action or voices excessive views. We thus value opinion polls, for they serve to guide democratic leaders and keep them from taking unilateral action that goes against the national interest.
