Pulse Asia: Marcos, Duterte approval ratings down in September 2025
A September 2025 Pulse Asia survey indicates a decline in approval and trust ratings for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte, amidst growing concerns over inflation and corruption.
President Marcos Jr.'s approval rating fell to 33% from 42% in June 2025, with 44% expressing disapproval, while his trust rating decreased to 34% from 39%.
Vice President Duterte's approval rating dropped to 55% from 59% in June 2025, with ambivalence becoming more pronounced, while her trust rating slightly rose to 56% from 54%.
The Pulse Asia survey, conducted from September 27-30, 2025, involved 1,200 adult Filipinos and followed major anti-corruption protests and responses to deadly storms.
These findings contrast with a September 2025 SWS survey which reported President Marcos Jr.'s trust at 43% and Vice President Duterte's at 53%, with both showing declines.
