Almost half (46%) of Filipino adults are satisfied with the performance of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., while 19% are undecided and 36% are dissatisfied, based on the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.
Results showed that his satisfaction rating is +10, classified by SWS as moderate, a 20-point rise from the poor -10 in April 2025. This indicates that President Marcos’ numbers are picking up after a steady decline in his ratings from very good +32 in September 2024 to neutral +1 in February 2025.
Satisfaction rating was most pronounced in Balance Luzon at good +28, followed by Metro Manila at neutral +1, the Visayas at neutral -2, and Mindanao at neutral -9.
The survey also revealed that as of June 2025, President Marcos had the highest net satisfaction rating of +34 among individuals with no formal education or only some elementary education.
This was followed by elementary graduates with a rating of +21, junior high school graduates at +10, those with some senior high school education at -2, and college graduates, who had the lowest rating at -13. Compared to April 2025, the President’s net satisfaction rating rose in all educational levels.
It rose by 32 points from neutral +2 among non-elementary graduates, 20 points from neutral +1 among elementary graduates, 19 points from neutral -9 among junior high school graduates, 17 points from poor -19 among those with some senior high school, and 15 points from poor -28 among college graduates.
The face-to-face survey was conducted from June 25 to 29, 2025 with 1,200 respondents aged 18 and older.
The sampling error margins are ±3% for national percentages and ±6% for each region: Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
President Marcos said that while it was “nice to know” that his satisfaction ratings increased, the administration’s primary goal should always remain on upholding and providing services regardless of surveys.
“Whatever’s happening—whether there’s a storm, whether there’s a scandal, whether there’s a turmoil—the people expect the government to continue to provide service, to continue to do work,” he said.
Mr. Marcos said during an interview with reporters following his inspection on the damages and meeting people affected by the Typhoon Opong in Masbate that he only learned of the new numbers when told by the media.
“You know what? I have no idea. I don’t look so much at the—of course, it’s nice to know,” he said. “I didn’t know about that. Now that you tell me, of course, I’m glad that it’s that way.”
President Marcos noted that elected officials should be serving the people rather than engaging in politics for politics’ sake. He hoped the improved ratings were the result of his administration’s consistent effort on delivering just and adequate public service.
