With almost four in ten Filipino registered voters (39%) supporting his presidential bid, Senator Aquino remains the leading presidential contender in the May 2010 elections. Tied for second place with an overall voter preference of 20% are former President Joseph M. Estrada Ejercito and Senator Manuel B. Villar, Jr. The other presidential hopefuls have the support of at most 7% of registered voters. Less than one in ten registered voters (9%) does not support any presidential candidate.
Senator Aquino leads the other presidential candidates in the rest of Luzon (37%), Metro Manila (39%), and the Visayas (47%), as well as all socio-economic classes (37% to 45%). In Mindanao, nearly the same percentages of registered voters support either Senator Aquino or former President Estrada (36% versus 34%).
Marginal gains in electoral support are enjoyed by Senator Aquino and former President Estrada between March and April 2010 (+2 percentage points). However, a significant decline in voter preference is experienced by Senator Villar during this period (-5 percentage points). The other presidential candidates register nominal/no changes in their respective voter preferences between March and April 2010.
