MANILA, Philippines — If the elections were held today, Senators Robin Padilla and Raffy Tulfo would be statistically tied in the vice presidential race, a survey by Momentum Research showed.
Padilla's support rose to 20 percent in October from 15 percent in August, while Tulfo's dropped to 18 percent from 25 percent during the same period, the October 2026 National Momentum Survey revealed.
Sen. Bong Go maintained his 14 percent support, while Sen. Rodante Marcoleta remained at 9 percent.
Sen. Bam Aquino gained two percentage points to 10 percent, while Sen. Kiko Pangilinan more than doubled his support from 3 percent to 7 percent.
Sen. Risa Hontiveros, meanwhile, slipped from 8 percent to 6 percent.
The survey also found that 7 percent of respondents were undecided, while 2 percent declined to disclose their preferred vice presidential candidate.
In September, Padilla said that he no longer planned to seek public office in 2028.
Tulfo and Aquino have also ruled out seeking the vice presidency, with Tulfo saying he intends to run for reelection.
The survey results showed a sharp regional divide in voter preferences, with Padilla dominating Mindanao while Tulfo led in the rest of Luzon.
