Duterte got a “great majority” at +74% satisfied wither performance and 8% were dissatisfied and some 22% were undecided, the poll said.
Class E of the respondents gave Duterte an overwhelming net approval of 85%; 82% of the 18-24 age group; and 71% from the third district. Tagbilaran City gave her the lowest net approval rating of 30%, the survey said.
“One-third (35%) of them (respondents) were satisfied of his (BBM) performance while a slight plurality (43%) were dissatisfied which resulted in a net (-8). Undecided was 22%,” Bohol Poll said.
