So, how are the senatorial candidates performing so far?

Pulse Asia has conducted a series of surveys measuring the preference of voters on the Senatorial candidates.

The Pulse Asia survey results for Senatorial preference, March -December 2018

Rappler noted that “(c)onsistently landing in the top are 5 of the 7 reelectionist senators: Grace Poe, Cynthia Villar, Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara, Nancy Binay, and Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III.”

“Poe has so far pulled away from everyone else in all surveys, but Villar seems to be gaining steam. Villar breached the 60% mark in the December 2018 survey when she garnered 66.6%, up by nearly 9 percentage points from September.”

The Pulse Asia results are almost similar to the survey results of the Social Weather Stations conducted last December.

For those interested in the numbers, the Pulse Asia results by survey and by candidate is as follows:
