Have you ever been surveyed? I was, once. In 1998, I was asked for names I would prefer to vote for local positions. I found their questions leading, as the elections were still some good months away when the survey was made. The questionnaire bore names, some familiar and some I encountered for only the first time. I think the survey gave the more familiar names the edge, thus leading to trending as we are seeing now in the forthcoming polls in May 10. Surveys, I think, are more indicative of possible results when done on a smaller, very localized basis. The national surveys released recently by reputable firms can only serve as guides, but they would not indicate a general sentiment, especially when the surveys involve only small samplings. But they do contribute to trending, as I still believe majority of Filipinos vote based only on their perceptions, and not through a deeper look at the character and track record of the candidate they choose.
