Result of latest survey on National Administration 'historically high,' says Palace official



The Palace on Monday (Nov. 17) expressed satisfaction over the “historically high” result of a recent Social Weather Stations’ (SWS) survey, which showed gross satisfaction with the National Administration increasing to 59 percent and dissatisfaction dropping to 24 percent.
                                                                     
Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said these ratings “remain historically high compared to other post-EDSA administrations, thus showing the public’s continuing confidence in our government.”

The SWS’ third-quarter survey result showed 59 percent of the 1,200 respondents said they were satisfied with the Aquino administration, while 24 percent were dissatisfied and 16 percent ambivalent. This has a net score of +35, which was rated as “good”.

A similar survey conducted in the second quarter posted a net score of +29 or “moderate”, with 56 percent satisfied, 26 percent dissatisfied, and 18 percent ambivalent.

The SWS classifies net satisfaction ratings as follows: +70 and above are rated as “excellent”; +50 to +69 as “very good”; +30 to +49 as “good”; +10 to +29 as “moderate”; +9 to -9 as “neutral”; -10 to -29 as “poor”; -30 to -49 as “bad”; -50 to -69 as “very bad”; and -70 and below as “execrable”.

Lacierda also noted the high marks the government received for its post-disaster response, which was at +52, with a rating of “very good.”

“Despite negative comments made by some quarters, this survey demonstrates the people’s voice—that this administration is responsive to their needs and has been at work in the continued reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts to build-back-better those areas devastated by typhoons,” he said.

He added that the government will continue its work in advancing the welfare of the citizen.

“Recognizing our citizens as the nation’s greatest resource, we continue to work to bring about reforms geared toward expansive and inclusive growth, for the benefit of current and future generations,” Lacierda said.

“Moving forward, we seek to actively engage and address the various issues facing our country—to build on recent successes and propel our nation toward an even brighter future,” he added.

The survey was conducted among 1,200 respondents from September 26 to 29. (PCOO News Release)
