Nine out of 10 Filipinos expressed “much trust” in President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, based on a survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) released on Monday.

In the non-commissioned nationwide survey conducted from June 25 to 28 with 1,200 respondents, 88 percent of Filipinos have “much trust” and 4 percent have “little trust” in Aquino, which translate to a “very good” net trust rating of +83.

SWS terminology for net trust ratings are translated as follows: +50 and above, very good; +30 to +49, good; +10 to +29, moderate; +9 to -9, neutral; -10 to -29, poor; -30 to -49, bad; and -50 or lower, very bad.”

The respondents were particularly asked, “Maaari po bang sabihin ninyo kung ang pagtitiwala ninyo kay Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III ay napakalaki, medyo malaki, hindi tiyak kung malaki o maliit, medyo maliit, napakaliit, o wala pa kayong narinig o nabasa kahit na kailan tungkol kay Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III?” (“Could you tell if your trust for Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is much trust, very much, somewhat much, undecided, little trust, somewhat little, or very little?”)

SWS found that the net trust rating in Aquino is highest in the Visayas and upper to middle classes ABC.

His net trust rating is highest in the Visayas at +87 (91 percent much trust, 3 percent little trust), followed by Balance Luzon at +84 (88 percent much trust, 4 percent little trust), Metro Manila at +84 (88 percent much trust, 4 percent little trust), and Mindanao at +79 (84 percent much trust, 6 percent little trust).
