Sara Duterte still leads VP race, Sotto 2nd in latest Pulse Asia survey

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte continued her lead among fellow vice presidential bets in pre-election polls, scoring 56% in the latest Pulse Asia survey released Wednesday.

Senate President Vicente Sotto III placed second, scoring 34%

Senator Francis Pangilinan was on third with 15% followed by Dr. Willie Ong with 5% and House Deputy Speaker Lito Atienza with 1%.

Manny Lopez got 0.3%, Walden Bello with 0.1%, while Carlos Serapio and Rizalito David both received 0.01%.

According to Pulse Asia, public sentiment regarding preferences for vice-president remained "essentially constant" between February 2022 and March 2022, as Duterte was the favored vice-presidential candidate of big pluralities to overwhelming majorities across geographic areas and socio-economic classes (44% to 83% and 55% to 63%, respectively).

The rest of the respondents were undecided on whom to elect as the next Philippine vice-president (2%), not voting for any candidate for the post (1%), or refused to identify their choice for vice-president (0.4%).

The survey was conducted from March 17 to 21, 2022 with 2,400 respondents and has a ± 2% error margin at the 95% confidence level.
