Social Weather Stations, in its last survey under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, found a record-high 88 percent of adult Filipinos satisfied, five percent undecided, and seven percent dissatisfied with his performance.

The SWS survey was conducted from June 26-29 using face-to-face interviews of 1,500 adults (18 years old and above) nationwide.

Duterte stepped down as president on June 30 after completing a six-year term. Ferdinand Marcos Jr replaced him on that date.

This is 16 points above the very good +65 in April 2022 and a new record-high that surpassed the previous record of +79 in November 2020.

Compared to April, gross satisfaction with Duterte rose by 10 points from 78 percent, gross undecided fell by four points from 9 percent, and gross dissatisfaction fell by six points from 13 percent.

The resulting net satisfaction rating is +81 classified by SWS as excellent.
