The survey was conducted at the time when the Supreme Court (SC) had voted 9-6 to overturn the ruling of the Commission on Elections to disqualify Poe as a presidential candidate in the May 2016 polls. It also coincided with allegations of members of the High Tribunal being offered a P50-million bribe for them to disqualify Poe followed by a denial by the SC justices.
Vice President Jejomar Binay ranked third with 22%, gaining 1 percentage point from the previous survey. Administration standard-bearer Manuel “Mar” Roxas II was 4th with 20%, unchanged from the previous poll. Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago remained constant with 3%. Commissioned by TV network ABS-CBN, the survey had a sample of 4,000 registered voters, 18 years old and above, with biometrics. It has a ±1.5% error margin at the 95% confidence level.
