Subnational estimates for the geographic areas covered in the survey have the following error margins at 95% confidence level: ± 6% for Metro Manila, ±4% for the rest of Luzon and ±5% for each of Visayas and Mindanao.
Arroyo trust rating reaches record low
The Pulse Asia survey showed that nearly 7 in 10 Filipinos (68%) distrust President Arroyo while only about 1 in 10 (11%) expressed trust in her.
According to Pulse Asia, Mrs. Arroyo's current overall trust rating is the same as that recorded in December 2009 and is the lowest she has attained since March 2001.
"On the other hand, the present overall distrust rating of President Arroyo - practically the same as the December 2009 figure (67%) is her highest distrust rating since March 2001," Pulse Asia said.
The survey showed that the President scored majority distrust ratings in every geographic area including sub-regions and socio-economic class ranging from 54% in Eastern Visayas to 82% in Western Visayas. Public ambivalence as regards the trustworthness of President Arroyo is most pronounced among those in Northern/Central Luzon (26%), Eastern Visayas (27%), Region 10 and Caraga (33%).
Arroyo, Ramos endorsements

The survey showed that 52% of Filipino voters said they would surely not vote for any candidate endorsed by President Arroyo. Another 22% said they would probably not vote for Arroyo's preferred candidate, compared to 12% who said they would probably vote for Arroyo's choice and 4% said they would surely vote for Arroyo's anointed.
On the other hand, 40% of voters said they would surely not vote for a candidate endorsed by Ramos while another 25% said they would probably not vote for a candidate endorsed by the former president.
