Tight race as Duterte, Poe lead Magdalo Group survey
03:08 PM December 16th, 2015
Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Grace Poe are now in a tight race for the top position in the country based on the latest survey conducted by a group that endorsed Poe's bid.
The survey conducted by the Magdalo Group from December 9 to 11 showed that Duterte received 31.9 percent of the votes while Poe got 26 percent.
Following Duterte and Poe were Vice President Jejomar Binay with 23.6 percent; former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas with 13.5 percent; Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago with 4 percent; and former Ambassador Roy Seneres with 0.1 percent.
The survey, conducted among almost 3000 respondents nationwide, had a margin of error of 1.8%. In this re-election survey, which was conducted last December 9-11, we provided respondents with the list of known candidates for president/vice president, and they were asked "If elections would be held today, who among the following candidates would you vote for?" A statement from the office of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Wednesday quoted Magdalo Partylist Representative Francisco Ashley Acedillo as saying
"One of the observations during the survey is that a significant number of respondents presumed that Senator Poe was already disqualified in running for President, or were asking if she was already disqualified. Since our researchers are not allowed to engage with the respondents to avoid influencing their answers, this issue was not clarified to them," Acedillo explained.
"We expect that these figures and the candidates' ranking will continue to notably change, especially when the Comelec (Commission on Elections) en banc and the Supreme Court, eventually, will release their decision on Sen. Poe's and Mayor Duterte's candidacy," he further said.

Duterte-Cayetano comes June 2016. Kahit mga OFW sa Iran at Iraq and other countries, panalo yung tandem nila. I feel sorry for Robredo nadamay sya sa poor performance ni Roxas.
i wonder how the strict implementation of the "no bio, no boto" rule of the comelec will affect the voting landscape next year
according to the petitioner, there are more than 2M voters who would be disenfranchised if the rule on "no bio, no vote" would proceed, but the comelec argued to the effect that the advantage of this policy (getting rid of flying voters and all) far outweighs it plus, if the case would drag on, we might not have elections in may 2016.
2M is still substantial. there are at least 50M registered voters eligible to vote in may according to the comelec.
The thing is, was it not that the COMELEC gave enough time for voters to fix their biometrics registration? More than a year before the deadline, I already received advise and then you also have the mall processing held. I know a lot who personally went out and did theirs because they are serious about their vote.
Yung mga reklamador yung mga hindi nagbabayad ng tax at mga nabibili ang boto.
tagal na kaya yang no-bio, no boto ads.
I read na yung Ateneo ni Mar dyan is just for High School. Parang unfair naman na pati high school graduation isasali dyan. Its deceiving para sa akin. Kung pwede pati high school bakit di na rin isama ang elementary at kinder malay nyo prestigious school din nagraduate ng kinder.
I wonder kung anong degree ni Poe sa UP manila and boston college? Ano to double degree o masteral yung isa?
Based on the alleged flags. MDS is the best person. While noggy and mr palengke is tied at the bottom.
And if may add, wag na kayo magalit if I'm pushing Binay, I'm not really pro-Binay.
Call it bird's eye or big picture view or thinking out of the box, the biggest backer of Binay is the Makati elite themselves, those who have invested too much for the country. If I'm a member of the Makati elite, I would back Binay as well to Protect this economic growth and my money.
So yun Lang yun, really it's really that simple, they are the powers that be. What we have are just an exercise of expression, so that we can freely express what we feel about the leadership, but none of it matter, the stakes are too high, we are now a tiger economy. You can't just leave that to an unpredictable or lesser evil or laid back presidential candidate,
Come to think of it. It's better that way. Let them do the planning and thinking and the best course for our country, mas okey pa nga. We're in good hands with these people,
bro macsd, this is my apprehension--

After months of trailing in the presidential surveys, Vice President Jejomar Binay has regained his lead in a poll on the preferred candidate for the highest elected post in the land.
A survey conducted by Pulse Asia from December 4 to 11, 2015, showed Binay getting the nod of 33 percent of the 1,800 respondents who were registered voters aged 18 and above from different parts of the country.
Pulse Asia said in second place were Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte with 23 percent and Senator Grace Poe with 21 percent.
Closely behind them was former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas with 17 percent, followed by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago with 4 percent.
The respondents were asked: “Sa mga taong nasa listahang ito, sino ang inyong iboboto bilang Presidente ng Pilipinas kung ang eleksion ng 2016 ay gaganapin ngayon at sila ay mga kandidato? (one answer only)”
The names on the list were taken from the certificates of canvass submitted to the Commission on Elections last October 12 to 16, 2015.
The other candidates on the list were Victor Cadag who got 0.1 percent while Leo Cadion, Rizalito David, Justino Padiernos, Camilo Sabio, Roy Señeres, Augusto Syjuco Jr., and Juanita Trocenio all got 0 percent.
Pulse Asia said the survey had a ± 2% error margin at the 95 percent confidence level. Subnational estimates for the geographic areas covered in the survey had the following error margins at 95 percent confidence level: ± 6% for Metro Manila, ±3% for the rest of Luzon, and ±5% for each of Visayas and Mindanao.
It also said that only 1 percent of Filipino registered voters were either not inclined to support any of the presidential candidates included in the survey or still do not know whom they will vote for as president in May 2016. Less than 1 percent, meanwhile, refused to identify their preferred presidential bet.
As expected, Duterte was the lead candidate in Mindanao with 43 percent, while in Metro Manila, Binay got the top spot (30 percent), followed by Duterte (27 percent) and Poe (21 percent).
In the rest of Luzon, Binay (34 percent) and Poe (29 percent) were the leading presidential candidates.
Binay also got the edge in the Visayas with 34 percent while Roxas received 27 percent.

Meanwhile on the vice presidential race, Sen. Francis Escudero remained the top choice with 29 percent, followed by Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with 23 percent.
Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano followed with 18 percent and Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo 14 percent.
Binay’s running mate, Sen. Gringo Honasan, got 9 percent followed by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV with 4 percent.
Other candidates included on the list were Albert Alba, 0.3 percent; Vicente Camilon Jr., 0.2 percent; Daniel Aldea, 0.1 percent; Ted Malangen, .04 percent; and Jesus Zosino Paredes, 0 percent.
Pulse Asia said 1 percent of Filipino registered voters do not support any of the vice-
presidential candidates on their list while another 1 percent admitted not knowing whom they will elect for the post next year, and 0.1% refused to name the vice-presidential bet they will support in May 2016.
It added that Metro Manilans and those in the rest of Luzon are most supportive of the vice-presidential bids of Escudero (30 percent and 33 percent, respectively) and Marcos (28 percent and 26 percent, respectively).
Escudero was also the top choice of those in the Visayas with 27 percent, Robredo with 21 percent, and Cayetano, 18 percent.
On the other hand, Cayetano, running mate of Duterte, led the candidates in Mindanao with 27 percent, followed by Escudero, 21 percent, and Marcos 19 percent. —KG/VS/RSJ, GMA News
