              The continuing downward trend of the people’s rating of the Aquino administration’s over-all performance is a judgment of the President’s failure to deliver on his promises of more jobs and less corruption.

             The inordinate predisposition of President Aquino in blaming previous administrations for their alleged mistakes, instead of finding solutions to current problems cannot detract the discerning public.

             Lackadaisical performance jives well with the law of gravity.

             The “good” net rating of +46, with 18% of respondents dissatisfied,  is a grudging concession of voters trying to justify or rationalize their having voted for Aquino.

            It is a psychological protection of their choice despite failed expectations.

            Even the centerpiece agenda of President Aquino on eradication of corruption scored only a “moderate” +14 which means the people are not convinced of the resoluteness of his advocacy which is presently in the periphery of sloganeering and propaganda.
