The survey, conducted from Jan. 25 to 31, found that 36 percent of the respondents describe themselves as proMarcos, slightly down from 38 percent obtained in a similar survey in August last year.

Another 18 percent said they support the Duterte family and their allies, up from 15 percent in the 2024 survey.

Those who identify as "independents" remained at 26 percent, while respondents who said they are pro-opposition slightly increased from seven percent to eight percent.

The remaining 12 percent refused to answer the poll question or said they do not know, down from 14 percent in the August 2024 survey.
