President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s net satisfaction rating bounced back from 50 percent four months ago to 55 percent this June, according to the latest Social Weather Station (SWS) survey.
The SWS revealed that 55 percent of adult Filipinos were satisfied with the performance of the President — 5 percentage points higher than 50 percent recorded in March.
Twenty-eight percent of Filipinos were dissatisfied, resulting in a net satisfaction rating of +27, which is an increase of 7 points compared to March, while 15 percent were undecided.
“Compared to March 2024, gross satisfaction with President Marcos rose from 50 percent, gross undecided fell from 19 percent, and gross dissatisfaction fell slightly from 31 percent,” SWS said.
However, it bounced back up to +27 based on a survey conducted by SWS from June 23 to July 1.
The net satisfaction rate for June 2024 was the aggregate score obtained, as 55 percent of respondents interviewed said they were satisfied with Marcos’ performance, 28 percent were dissatisfied, and 15 percent were undecided.

Still, Marcos’ score for June 2024 was lower compared to the +58 he got a year ago or in June 2023, and his highest-ever net satisfaction rating of +68 in December 2022.
Satisfaction among respondents was highest in Balance Luzon, with 60 percent saying they were okay with Marcos’ performance, followed by 57 percent in Metro Manila, 55 percent in Visayas, and 46 percent in Mindanao.
Dissatisfaction was highest in Mindanao at 41 percent, followed by Visayas at 28 percent, Metro Manila at 26 percent, and Balance Luzon at 28 percent.
The SWS said 9 percent of respondents said they expect Marcos to fulfill all or nearly all of his campaign promises; 17 percent said that many of the promises would be actualized; 48 percent said only some would be fulfilled; and 23 percent do not believe the President’s objectives will be attained.
Combined, the 27 percent who were optimistic — or those who believe Marcos can fulfill all, nearly all, or many of his promises — were up in June 2024, compared to just 22 percent in March.
