MANILA, April 6 ― Philippine presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr has retained a clear lead in a survey ahead of the May 9 election, though his lead has narrowed after Vice President Leni Robredo picked up support, an opinion poll showed today.
The Pulse Asia survey of 2,400 people was conducted between March 17-21, when official campaigning was underway. At least two presidential debates, both of which Marcos skipped, have also taken place over the period. Marcos's running mate, Sara-Duterte Carpio, daughter of incumbent President Rodrigo Duterte, remained the top choice for vice president with 56 per cent support in the survey, while Senate President Vicente Sotto was in second place with 20 per cent support.Duterte's political party is backing the candidacy of Marcos, but the Philippine leader has repeatedly said he would not endorse a candidate because he wanted to stay neutral.
