Former Senator and Sorsogon Governor Francis "Chiz" Escudero remains one of the leading candidates for the 2022 elections, according to a latest poll survey released less than two weeks before the national elections.
A Laylo national survey conducted from April 14 to 20 showed that 39 percent of 3,000 likely voters would vote for Escudero.
In this survey, Escudero ranked 4th to 6th among pre-listed senatorial candidates.
He also consistently topped other pollster surveys, including a Publicus Asia survey released last April 25 where he ranked No. 1 with 46.8 percent of 1,500 respondents.
Escudero is also a popular choice among students to win the senatorial race, according to separate campus mock polls.
If elected, Escudero vowed to focus on giving more autonomy to local government units (LGUs), ensure the judicious utilization of the annual budget, and help the economy recover from the pandemic.
