As if to second the results of Pulse Asia mid-February results- the latest March 4-7 Asia poll survey nationwide confirmed senator Grace Poe’s No 1 position at 27%.
This was even  before the March 8 event wherein the Supreme Court upheld the right of Senator Grace to run for the presidency on both counts of citizenship and residency.
Significantly, this 27% is a + 3% surge from the February results of 24% for senator Poe. Overtaken from the lead and dropping to second with a decrease of 5% points was VP Jojo Binay who slid from 29% to 24%.
Hanging on Binay’s coattail  is former DILK head Mar Roxas who climbed by 4% from 18% to 22% even as Mayor Rod Duterte dropped to 4th at 21% -coming down from 24%.
