On Presidential Poll Survey
Since day one of the campaign period and even earlier Liberal Party presidential bet Noynoy Aquino has consistently topped the poll survey followed by Manny Villar of the Nationalista Party then by former President Erap Estrada of the Partido ng Masang Pilipino and tailing far behind them is administration candidate Gibo Teodoro, Jr. of the Lakas-Kampi Party.
With this, hence almost everyone is of the impression that should elections is held now then Noynoy Aquino will undoubtedly turn-out as the sure winner in the presidential race. However, keen political observers did also say that, popularity is but one of the many factors that has to be considered in winning an election as there are many more.

However, keen political observers did also say that, popularity is but one of the many factors that has to be considered in winning an election as there are many more.
And foremost of which is to have sufficient funds to run a nationwide campaign and of course a formidable political machinery that would effectively launch a campaign down to the grassroots level.
As we understand poll survey refers to a random check on the general popularity of the candidates and reflects the voters’ preference from among the many political aspirants. But this should not already be construed as the voters’ final decision in selecting of whom to vote come election time.
Looking closely, we will find the most likely reasons of presidential candidates’ poll survey ratings; in Noynoy Aquino is his being the son of contemporary hero Ninoy Aquino, a leading oppositionist during the Marcos regime who became more popular after his death and martyrdom and of equally popular former President Cory Aquino, Manny Villar by his long and distinguished political career, particularly as House Speaker and Senate President and enormous TV ads, Erap Estrada by his inherent popularity as an actor and as former President except that he was unceremoniously ousted from office and Gibo Teodoro, Jr. only by his very limited national exposure as Secretary of National Defense.
My sincere apology to other presidential aspirants for not mentioning them anymore because I found them out of the race already based too on periodic poll surveys whose results consistently gave them insignificant popularity ratings.
