70% oppose Cha-Cha to extend PGMA’s term;55% believe she is behind current Cha-Cha efforts
Social Weather Station asked respondents, “Kayo po ba ay sang-ayon o hindi sang-ayon sa Charter Change na papayagan si Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo na manatili bilang Pinunong opisyal ng Pilipinas nang lampas sa Hunyo 30, 2010?” (Are you for or against a Charter Change that will allow President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to still be the chief official of the Philippines after June 30, 2010?).
The answer of 70 per cent was a resounding “No.”
SWS again asked if they believed “that Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is behind the current efforts to amend the Constitution in order to extend her term beyond 2010″ (”na si Pang. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ang nasa likod ng kasalukuyang tangkang pagbabago ng Konstitusyon upang palawigin ang kanyang termino lagpas sa 2010″) and majority (55 percent) said “Yes”.
SWS said opposition to a charter change that would extend Arroyo’s stay in power has increased from 66% in February 2009 and 64% in October 2008.
The most intense opposition is in Metro Manila ( 83 per cent). Opposition stayed high in all classes: it went from 69% to 73% in class ABC, from 67% to 73% in class D or the masa; and from to 64% to 62% in class E.
Majority in most areas believe PGMA is behind the current cha-cha effort
The Second Quarter of 2009 Social Weather Survey was conducted over June 19-22, 2009 using face-to-face interviews of 1,500 adults divided into random samples of 300 each in Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao, and 600 in the Balance of Luzon (sampling error margins of ±3% for national percentages, ±6% for Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao, and ±4% for Balance Luzon).
