Villar is most trusted bet in May 10 polls — Pulse Asia

Only Senators Manuel Villar Jr. and Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III enjoy majority trust ratings among those seeking to become the country’s next President, with Villar having a slight edge over Aquino in Pulse Asia’s latest survey.

The survey, conducted last January 22 to 26, said 70 percent of the 1,800 respondents had “big trust” in Villar, slightly better than Aquino’s 64 percent.

Pulse Asia earlier released a presidential preference survey conducted during the same period, where Aquino was preferred by 37 percent of voters, and Villar by 35 percent.
