FOUR in
every five Filipinos are not satisfied with how
President Arroyo performed in the last three months,
according to the latest study of independent think tank
Ibon Foundation Inc.
The
study showed that the President’s net satisfaction
rating—the difference between the percentage of
satisfied and unsatisfied responses—dropped further by
10 percentage points to -74 in April from net -64 in
January.
Ibon
executive editor Rosario Bella Guzman said in a
statement that the latest net-satisfaction rating is
among the lowest for the President in four years. In
April 2004, before the presidential elections which
Arroyo promised not to join, her net rating stood at
-30.
Ibon’s
survey, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3
percent, found that 81.67 percent of 1,495 respondents
are not satisfied with the Chief Executive’s performance
until April.
Over the
past three months her administration continued to be
hounded by corruption issues, with the situation made
worse by a record 8.3-percent inflation rate, the
highest since May 2005. |
