Majority of Filipinos
think that the economy has gotten worse and an even bigger number are
dissatisfied with Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's performance as President.
According to the
latest survey by IBON Foundation, an independent research think-tank, the
number of respondents who replied that the economy worsened fell to 64.6%
in January 2006 from 68.5% in October 2005. Similarly, respondents who
replied that the economy was better increased from 1.5% in October 2005 to
2.3% in January 2006.
Despite this,
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo still recorded a net satisfaction rating
of -75%, with 7.9% of respondents saying that her performance was
“satisfactory” against 82.8% who said that it was “unsatisfactory.”
This means that four
out of every five Filipinos are dissatisfied with Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo's performance as President while three out of every five Filipinos
think that the economy has gotten worse.
The latest IBON
nationwide survey was conducted from January 1-11, 2006 with 1,331
respondents from various sectors. The survey used a multi-stage
probability sampling scheme with a margin of error of plus or minus three
percent.
Below is the
