A COUPLE of surveys are out; more are expected to come in the coming months leading up to the midterm elections. These, they say, are meant to "guide voters" in deciding who will be the next set of national and local political leaders they would want to govern them and fulfill their aspirations and remedy their frustrations.
A considerable number of Filipinos believe that tpromihese surveys and the publication of the results should stop, arguing that these do not at all guide voters. They opine that surveys like these create bandwagoning that tends to lure the voters to go with the "preference" of the majority. They conclude that surveys generate a trend that would sway voters to discard their "unpopular" candidates and opt for the more "popular" ones because they think that theirs are not leading in the surveys, and hence, unlikely to win.
