Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte is the number one choice for president in the 2022 elections if the vote was held today, Pulse Asia said. She is also among the frontrunners should she decide to run for senator, along with broadcaster Raffy Tulfo.
President Rodrigo Duterte's eldest daughter is the choice of one in every four respondents (27%) of 2,400 respondents in a Feb. 22 to March 3 survey. In the senatorial race, she is statistically tied at third to seventh place with Tulfo, who hosts a wildly popular TV and online show on swift justice for the masses.
Tulfo is just one of two persons with a statistical chance of winning as senator based on the Feb. 22 to March 3 poll. The other is "Wowowin" host Willie Revillame who came in at ninth to eleventh place, edging out incumbents Kiko Pangilinan and Sherwin Gatchalian, former senator Jinggoy Estrada, and former Vice President Jejomar Binay.
