Noynoy tops new SWS poll
By Helen Flores (The Philippine Star)
Liberal Party standard-bearer Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III has again topped the latest survey of the Social Weather Stations on the preferred presidential candidates of Filipinos in the May 2010 elections.
Aquino’s candidacy for the highest position in the land was approved by 47 percent of 1,200 registered voters, surveyed from Nov. 4 to 8.
Nacionalista Party standard-bearer Sen. Manuel “Manny” Villar came in second, attracting 20 percent of the voters surveyed, followed by Sen. Francis Escudero and former President Joseph Estrada, both approved by 12 percent of respondents.
Vice President Noli de Castro and former defense chief and Lakas-Kampi-CMD bet Gilbert Teodoro were supported by three percent of respondents.
Bangon Pilipinas presidential candidate Bro. Eduardo Villanueva and Bagumbayan Party vice presidential candidate former Metro Manila Development Authority chair Bayani Fernando are both preferred by only one percent of respondents.
"I am determined to continue the fight started by my father and my mother to see
that democracy takes root and is strengthened in our country. This cannot happen
in a government that serves the interest of the powerful few. We must strengthen
the institutions of government so that they truly serve the interests of our people."

I just read a news article in Abante that shows different result. According to the writer, SWS survey conducted on Nov.4-8 shows Villar got 45% to Noynoy’s 49,he emphasize the narrowing gap between Noy and Villar.Hndi kaya gawa na nmn ng mga political magician eto para ipakita na lumiliit na ang lamang ni Noy sa mga kalaban?…haiss desperate people indeed…

Hi, guys. Did you watch Mr. Carandang’s program aired over ANC last night. He said that in Harapan, Noynoy got the HIGHEST vote with 42 and when he interviewed the panel of observers, they were unanimous in saying that Noynoy delivered his piece and answered questions the most effective.
So who’s saying na tanga at bobo si Noynoy natin babatuhin ko lang ng TV?

This survey was conducted at the time when Escudero and Noli De Castro have not yet withdrawn from the race. Eh, obviously, Escudero will support Noynoy and kabayan announced he will support Mar Roxas. This development will surely boost Noynoy’s ratings even HIGHER.
Hindi pa rin lumalabas pa ang mga issues, at pag naglabasan na ang mga issues, tiyak lalo pang tataas kasi maraming issues vs his opponents while they have almost nothing against Noynoy.

SWS survey please show us proof that Noynoy indeed top the survey, otherwise it’s all for sale survey. internet survey are the real ones, it shows to you directly who top the surveys and it’s hard to manipulate it unlike the SWS or other commisioned survey, I think they are all make-up numbers! lol

Leana since when the SWS has been question by the Republic of the Philippines, It’s only now when Noynoy declared his candidacy. SWS was founded since 1985, they were doing the credible surveys from that time to the present.
Internet surveys? you can vote their more than 1M times all alone with just one name, one IP address, one email and one identity, that is what you call credible?
Where were you born Leana?
