About 85% of Filipinos believe that the country is ‘headed in the right direction,’ under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., according to a poll released by OCTA Research Group.
OCTA Research Group’s Tugon ng Masa survey asked respondents: Based on the policies and programs articulated and implemented by the current administration, do you think the country is leading in the right way?
The survey also showed that only 6% of Filipinos think otherwise.
Meanwhile, 91% of respondents from Visayas think the country is headed in the right direction, 87% in Balance Luzon, 84% in Mindanao, and 70% in Metro Manila.
Among the socio-economic class, 86% of Filipinos belonging to ‘Class D’ or ‘masa’ agreed the country is moving in the right direction.
It was followed by ‘Class E’ or ‘the poorest’ at 81% and ‘Class ABC’ or ‘upper-to-middle’ at 79%.
