Aquino and Villar now statistically tied, according to Pulse Asia

Pulse Asia survey 2010

The latest Pulse survey shows that Liberal party bet Noynoy Aquino and Nacionalista bet Manny Villar are now statistically tied. Aquino got 37% of the vote while Villar got 35% or about 2 percentage points difference. For Noynoy supporters, this is disconcerting to say the least. It seems that there is something terribly wrong happening ON THE GROUND and this is the explanation.

Everybody knows that the Manny Villar team already got most, if not ALL, of the brightest and the most reliable grassroots organizers in Northern, Southern and even Central Luzon—areas which are heavily slanted in Villar’s favor.

With an effective and well-oiled grassroots machinery and a very efficient campaign machinery, Villar’s group is expected to conquer most areas once dominated by the Liberals.

Why is that? Because the Liberal campaign machinery is sputtering at this point of the game. Likewise, the Party already lost the initiative.

What is most notable is the fact that across age groups, Aquino lost considerable ground especially in the 24-44 age group. This group is the MOST INFLUENTIAL and the MOST IMPORTANT voting group since these are young professionals and entrepreneurs and are mostly managers and supervisors or owners of small and medium-size businesses. They have command votes.

Second, Noynoy is losing appeal in his own socio-economic bailiwick, which is the middle class. This shows a MISMANAGED CAMPAIGN.

Now, it remains to be seen if the latest TVC of Noynoy would appeal to the “young voters”, but sincerely, I think, that his ratings would further GO DOWN because of that stupid TVC where he was seen rapping the problems of the country away.

Not good, since most voters in the 24-44 age groups HATE RAPPERS.
