New survey: Poe leads, Mar takes Visays, Binay Mindanao

The latest Ulat ng Bayan survey of Pulse Asia shows Senator Grace Poe still leading presidential candidates if elections were held today, with a rating of 26%, followed by resigned Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II and Vice President Jejomar Binay. The Pulse Asia survey was conducted September 8-14, before Senator Grace Poe declared her presidential bid, and after Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said he wouldn’t run for the highest post. Poe got a rating of 26%, which is one percentage point lower than another Pulse Asia survey conducted shortly before the quarterly Ulat ng Bayan. The August 27 to September 3, where she got 27%, was commissioned by broadcast company ABS-CBN and had half the size of the Ulat’s sample. In the Ulat ng Bayan, Roxas ranked 2nd with 20%, tied with Binay who got 19%. Duterte was close at 4th with 16%.
