MANILA - After three months in office, President Rodrigo Duterte has earned a net satisfaction rating of +64 or "very good," according to the latest survey conducted by SWS.

In the SWS results published on BusinessWorld on Thursday, 76% of Filipinos said they were satisfied while 11% said they were dissatisfied. Meanwhile, 13% were undecided regarding the president's performance.

According to SWS, net satisfaction ratings of at least +70 are classified as "excellent"; those +50 to +69 as "very good"; +30 to +49, "good"; +10 to +29, "moderate"; +9 to -9, "neutral"; -10 to -29, "poor"; -30 to -49, "bad"; -50 to -69, "very bad"; and -70 and below, "execrable."

Broken down per region, Duterte gained an "excellent" +85 net satisfaction in Mindanao, his bailiwick. He received a "very good" rating in all other regions: +62 in the Visayas; +58 in Metro Manila; and +57 in other parts of Luzon.

Duterte's net satisfaction was "very good" in both urban (+63) and rural (+67) areas.

The president also received "very good" net satisfaction ratings across socioeconomic classes: +56 in ABC and +65 each in D and E.

During the same time period, most of Duterte's predecessors received similar net satisfaction ratings.

Like Duterte, four former presidents received a net satisfaction rating of "very good": Corazon Aquino (+53); Fidel Ramos (+66); Joseph Estrada (+60); and Benigno Aquino III (+60).

Former President Gloria Arroyo received a "moderate" +24 after she was sworn to office following Estrada's ouster and a "moderate" +12 after winning the presidency.

The net satisfaction survey was conducted from September 24 to 27 and involved face-to-face interviews with 1,200 adults nationwide.

The survey has a sampling error of 3 percentage points for nationwide results and 6 percentage points each for Metro Manila, "Balance of Luzon," Visayas and Mindanao.

In a separate trust rating survey that SWS conducted from June 24 to 27 before his inauguration, Duterte received a net trust rating of +79, wherein 84% of those surveyed said they have "much trust"; 11% were undecided; and 5% said they have "little trust" in him.

Malacanang said Duterte's latest net satisfaction proves that the people trust that he is just doing his job despite criticisms against his bloody war on drugs.

"The President seems to be off on a very good start. The people trusts what he is doing," Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said.

Alongside the President's high satisfaction rating, Abella also cited the World Bank's projection that the country will "accelerate by 6.4 percent" this year.

"The Board of Investments also said that investments went up by 200 percent, indicating strong investor confidence," Abella said.

The spokesperson reiterated that with Duterte's controversial manner of speaking, the media needs "to look beyond the style and substance of the President" and to listen beyond the noise and see that he is just performing his duties as chief executive.
