Public dissatisfaction with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has reached a majority, even as Vice President Sara Duterte maintains a majority satisfaction rating, according to the latest nationwide survey by WR Numero Research.
The June 9 to 16, 2026 round of the Philippine Public Opinion Monitor (PPOM) revealed that 55 percent of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with Marcos, comprising 22 percent who rated his performance as “very poor” and 33 percent who evaluated it as “poor.”
Only 36 percent reported satisfaction with the President, while 10 percent remained undecided.
This marks a notable shift from WR Numero’s March 2026 survey, in which Marcos recorded a 29 percent satisfaction rating against 47 percent dissatisfaction. Between March and June, his satisfaction rating dropped by 7 percentage points, while dissatisfaction climbed by 8 percentage points.
Historical data from the polling firm reflects a sustained decline in Marcos’ numbers since taking office. His satisfaction score stood at 66 percent in December 2023, falling to 45 percent in March 2024, 21 percent in November 2025, 29 percent in March 2026, and settling at 36 percent in the latest poll.
In contrast, Vice President Sara Duterte logged a 55 percent satisfaction rating, with 44 percent rating her performance as “good” and 11 percent as “very good.”
Thirty-five percent of respondents indicated dissatisfaction with the Vice President, while 10 percent were undecided.
Duterte’s figures reflect an increase from March 2026, when her satisfaction stood at 44 percent and dissatisfaction at 25 percent.
WR Numero noted that the survey highlights “polarized views” among the public regarding the nation’s top two leaders, showing majority dissatisfaction for the President alongside majority satisfaction for the Vice President.
Political Factions Shift
The Duterte political bloc strengthened its position as the country’s largest faction, capturing 37 percent of respondents—a 4-percentage-point increase from March.
Meanwhile, support for the Marcos bloc shrank to 18 percent (down 4 points), trailing the opposition bloc, which rose to 20 percent. A total of 24 percent of respondents did not align with any political faction.
The survey was conducted among 1,432 adult Filipinos nationwide using face-to-face computer-assisted interviews, with a margin of error of ±2.6 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.
