[edit] SWS poll

I've added an SWS poll. Also, this talk page needs to be archive so if no one objects I'll go ahead with the archive. --Howard the Duck 09:52, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I concur with the move to archive the discussion. What do others think? -- Alternativity (talk) 14:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Concur. Posting the opinion poll would be the great start of this article that was heavily debated and let's move on. I hope they would be satisfied with this already. -- Kevin Ray (talk) 05:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Archives done. --Howard the Duck 05:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notice for Aspiring Politicians

Please don't turn this into a campaign site. Alexius08 (talk) 07:01, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

We will assure you Alexius08 that we would thwart anyone planning to make this article biased and impartial. I hope that you could also join us in making this article better and preserve this in line with Wikipedia's standards. - Kevin Ray (talk) 08:10, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes, Alexius08 (talk), please do. This one will need all our help. Alternativity (talk) 10:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I've just began monitoring this page for 2010. All biased and impartial posts will be deleted. Alexius08 (talk) 04:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Issues

Guys, does anyone know of any articles specifically attaching specific issues to this campaign? I still insist that the wiki for this must have neutral coverage of issues and not just coverage of personalities. The problem is, media coverage tends towards personalities so it's hard to get references... Alternativity (talk) 10:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

There are no issues YET since everyone is embroiled in the ZTE mess. --Howard the Duck 10:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Uh-huh. Yeah, I suppose so. I'm a bit surprised, though, that no parties have used the ZTE mess as a starting point for identifying key issues for 2010. But then of course, people seem to be wondering if 2010 is going to happen at all, and that might be at the root of it. Sigh. Oh well. I will be waiting for the SWS surveys that list people's reasons for making a choice for president.Alternativity (talk) 12:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Error on Mar Roxas' poll numbers

I had just corrected an error on the SWS Survey showing Senator Mar Roxas with 60% instead of 9% in September 2007. -- Kevin Ray (talk) 05:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Poll in article showing Estrada with a 9% following

Why is Estrada listed in the poll as a possible option for voters to select in 2010? The Philippine Constitution is clear that one may not be elected president more than once.J.J. Bustamante (talk) 07:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Er... I believe the article just quotes the source in this case. The article is not actually saying that Erap is running or is constitutionally allowed to run, but is saying, instead, that the polls list Erap as an option. At this point, I think the "Erap running" issue merits a subheading in this article. I just don't quite have the time to make one. Perhaps you'd like to have a go at it, [[User:JesuXPIPassio|J.J. Bustamante]? I think it would really help make the article clearer. It's simply a matter of finding the relevant sources. (In this case, I think it will be necessary to find a printed quote from some constitutional expert regarding whether or not Erap can run. But since so many such experts have already given their opinion, I doubt finding sources will be a problem. Alternativity (talk) 16:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Center for Philippine Futuristic Studies

The problem with opinion polls unlike exit polls, the former is just a very very hazy picture of the future, while the latter, conducted on the day of the election, is a rather very very close picture of the result. At any rate, money is involved here. The SWS and Pulse Asia Polls, are now REPEALED OR REVISED by this LATEST poll on the race: Center for Philippine Futuristic Studies, a political futurist, led by Antonio Gatmaitan, head of the research outfit, Political Economic Applied Research Foundation, surveyed that: "The 2010 presidential elections will likely be a 5-way race among Vice-President Noli de Castro, Senate President Manuel Villar, Senator Loren Legarda, Senator Manuel Mar Roxas, and former President Joseph Estrada, in case he qualifies. And in case De Castro doesn’t get the support of the administration, the Lakas-KAMPI alliance will have a dark horse candidate; the 9 other "early frontliners" for May 2010 are: Senators Francisco Pangilinan, Francis Escudero, Richard Gordon, Gregorio Honasan, and Panfilo Lacson; Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay; Quezon City Mayor Feliciano Belmonte; Metro Manila Development Authority Chair Bayani Fernando; and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro.Gatmaitan also stated that the 5 candidates can be competitive in the 3 arenas where the 2010 electoral battle will be fought:

1) battle of the airwaves (50% of the contest); 2) ground level war (35% of the battle); and, 3) cyberspace, (15%)".Abs-Cbn Interactive, 2010 polls a 5-way race—forecast --Florentino floro (talk) 05:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Actually opinion polls are rather accurate in the States but not that quite here, because perhaps the official results can be easily manipulated. --Howard the Duck 06:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I partly agree, since SWS was the most unreliable and so corrupt, during the FPJ surveys. It confessed mea culpa, its error for PGMA of 10%. SWS is prone to election corruption. But it has the best comparable to USA, were it not for greed and lust for money. This futuristic I added has not been heard but will try to join the corrupt election ... So, I added this one now:*2010 candidates start organizing --Florentino floro (talk) 11:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
