SWS: NOY GOV'T RATING IMPROVES FROM 'GOOD' TO 'VERY GOOD'



MANILA, Philippines - The Aquino administration has improved its satisfaction rating from “good” in June to “very good” in September, the Social Weather Stations (SWS) said in its latest survey.

The SWS poll, taken from Sept. 4 to 7, found 68 percent of respondents satisfied and 12 percent dissatisfied with the general performance of the administration, yielding a “very good” net satisfaction rating of +56.

The remaining 19 percent of respondents were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.

Results of the SWS Third Quarter of 2011 Survey were published in the newspaper BusinessWorld yesterday.

SWS said the government’s latest rating is better than the “good” +45 and +46 scores it garnered in the surveys last June and March, respectively, but less than the “very good” +64 obtained in September and November last year.

The current administration’s net satisfaction rating remains better than those of previous administrations since SWS began the survey in February 1989 under the administration of the late former President Corazon Aquino, mother of the incumbent.

Its net satisfaction dropped among Metro Manila respondents, from +48 to +44, during the survey period while improving in all other areas.

The administration’s net score stayed “very good” in Mindanao (+63 from +57), “good” in Metro Manila (down to +44 from +48), and rose to “very good” from “good” in the Visayas (+51 from +47) and in balance Luzon (+59 from +37).
