Although a majority of Filipinos still approve of Marcos' performance almost two years into his presidency, results of the Dec. 8 to 11 survey conducted by SWS showed a declining satisfaction with the Chief Executive, especially among respondents in the bailiwick of his predecessor, former president Rodrigo Duterte.

In the latest survey, only 61 percent of respondents from Mindanao said they were satisfied with the performance of Marcos, down from the 78 percent he obtained in the December 2022 survey.

Meanwhile, respondents from Mindanao who were dissatisfied with the President increased from just six percent in December 2022 to 23 percent in December 2023.
