OCTA’s second quarter survey conducted from June 30 to July 5 found that 68 percent of the respondents were satisfied with Marcos’ performance, up from the 65 percent he obtained in a similar survey conducted in March.

Meanwhile, Duterte obtained a satisfaction rating of 60 percent, down from 64 percent.

In terms of trust, Marcos obtained a rating of 71 percent (up from 69 percent), while Duterte obtained 65 percent (down from 68 percent).

Although Marcos had already obtained higher ratings than Duterte in the March survey, these were within the poll's margin of error and their ratings were deemed statistically tied.

Based on the survey, dissatisfaction with Marcos decreased to 10 percent (from 14 percent), while distrust remained at 10 percent.
