More Pinoys back Leni-Raffy vs Baste-Robin – OCTA

MANILA, Philippines — A significant portion of the electorate will support Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo should she decide to again run for a national post.

A new survey released by the OCTA Research group showed more Filipinos would support a hypothetical tandem of Robredo and Sen. Raffy Tulfo, should they face the tandem of Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte and Sen. Robin Padilla, in a one-on-one matchup.

Duterte’s name is being floated as a possible contender in the presidential race if his sister, Vice President Sara Duterte, is convicted in the ongoing impeachment trial.

Based on the poll, 43 percent of the respondents said they would support a Robredo-Tulfo tandem if they face off with Baste Duterte and Padilla.

Thirty-nine percent said they would vote for a Duterte-Padilla tandem.

The remaining 18 percent either said “none” or answered “don’t know.”

OCTA pointed out that the survey was conducted over a month before Robredo reiterated her decision not to run for president in 2028, saying she lacked the “political savvy” for it.

The survey had 1,200 respondents and a margin of error of plus/minus three percent.
