President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s net satisfaction rating declines to -11 (“poor”) in the third quarter of 2026, according to a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey. The results show 35% of adult Filipinos are satisfied with his performance as President, 46% are dissatisfied, and 20% are undecided.
The outlets report the rating change as a drop from “neutral” in the previous quarter to “poor” in Q3. GMA News and Inquirer.com both cite the same SWS figures and characterize the -11 net rating as within SWS’s “poor” range (from -10 to -29). The coverage differs mainly in phrasing—some describe the fall in terms of the numerical rating, while others emphasize the shift in the qualitative category from neutral to poor. The survey was conducted in September 2026 and is reported with an estimated sampling error of ±3%.
