Isko Moreno leads Manila mayoral poll with 63%

Former Manila Mayor Francisco 'Isko Moreno' Domagoso maintains a strong lead in the race for the Manila mayoralty, according to an OCTA Research survey conducted from April 20 to 23.

The poll found that Domagoso is the top choice of 63% of respondents, representing about 710,980 voters, with a slight dip from his previous 67% preference in March.

Incumbent Mayor Honey Lacuña follows with 18%, up by 3 percentage points since the last survey, while Party-list Representative Samuel Versoza remains steady at third place with 16%.

Moreno leads in all six of Manila's districts but faces a tighter race in the third and fourth districts where Lacuna has stronger support.

Despite leading in voter preference, Moreno, Lacuña, and Versoza are facing allegations of vote buying and misuse of government resources, respectively.
