FALSE: VP Sara Duterte leads 2028 presidential preference survey

A social media post claims Vice President Sara Duterte ranked first in a supposed 2028 presidential preference survey across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

CLAIM: 

The post presents figures claiming Duterte secured 45% of voter preference in Luzon, 70% in Visayas, and 80% in Mindanao.

RATING: FALSE

CONCLUSION:

No survey dates, sample size, or methodology are provided to substantiate the figures shown in the post. The graphic itself also appears to be AI-generated, further casting doubt on the authenticity of the supposed poll.

THE FACTS:

• While Duterte leads in some legitimate 2028 presidential preference surveys, the figures shown in the graphic are not supported by actual polling data.
• A Pulse Asia Research survey conducted from June 28 to July 3 recorded Duterte at 87% in Mindanao, 53% in Visayas, 31% in Luzon outside Metro Manila, and 39% in Metro Manila.
• An OCTA Research survey conducted from July 4 to 11 likewise showed Duterte leading, with 76% in Mindanao, 51% in Visayas, and 27% in Luzon outside Metro Manila.
• Neither survey matches the graphic’s 45% in Luzon, 70% in Visayas, and 80% in Mindanao, which are also presented without key survey details.

THE BOTTOMLINE:

Legitimate surveys do show Duterte leading, but the specific percentages in the circulating graphic are fabricated and do not correspond to actual survey results.
