REELECTIONIST Senator Bong Go has solidified his lead in the latest Pulse Asia survey for the May 12 midterm elections, securing a 62.2 percent voter preference—an uptick from his 61.9 percent rating in March.
He remains the only candidate in the top 12 to experience a rise in support.
Trailing behind is ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo, who garnered 42.4 percent, a significant drop from his previous 51.1 percent rating.
Despite a high-profile endorsement from Vice President Sara Duterte, reelectionist Senator Imee Marcos
continues to struggle in the polls.
Her latest rating is 27.6 percent, placing her outside the top 12 contenders. She ranked between 14 and 18.
This is particularly significant given Vice President Duterte’s active campaigning for Marcos, including a political ad endorsing Imee released just days before the survey was conducted.
Political analysts said Marcos’s decision to part ways with the administration-backed Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas coalition, led by her brother President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., and aligned with Duterte’s camp has not translated into increased voter support.
Here’s the complete list of candidates with a statistical chance of securing a Senate seat:
former Senate president Vicente Sotto III (41.1%)
Senator Ronald dela Rosa (41.0%)
Senator Ramon Revilla Jr. (35.6%)
former senator Panfilo Lacson (33.8%)
broadcaster Ben Tulfo (33.5%)
Senator Manuel Lapid (32.2%)
Makati City Mayor Mar-len Abigail Binay (30.2%)
Senator Pia Cayetano (29.9%)
television host Willie Revillame (28.6%)
Las Piñas City Representative Camille Villar (28.3%)
former senator Emmanuel Pacquiao (28.3%)
former senator Paolo Benigno Aquino IV (25.4%).
