<p>MANILA - Almost 8 in 10 Filipinos are satisfied with the government&#x27;s anti-narcotics crackdown, according to a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey released Sunday. </p><p>Of 1,200 adults polled in late June, 78 percent said they were satisfied with the campaign, 13 percent said otherwise and 19 were undecided, the SWS said in a statement. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://www.sws.org.ph/visuals/2018/pr20180923a/pr20180923a_vis02.JPG"/></figure></div><p>The percentage of those dissatisfied subtracted from those satisfied yields a net satisfaction rating of a &quot;very good&quot; +65. This is 1 point above the very good +64 (75 percent satisfied, 12 percent dissatisfied) in March 2018, the pollster noted. </p><p>Satisfaction with the administration’s campaign against illegal drugs was at an excellent +76 when it was first surveyed in September 2016. It was highest in December 2017 at an excellent +77, said SWS. </p><p>However, it has been at the +63 to +66 (very good) range since March 2017, reaching its lowest rating of +63 in September 2017, the polling firm added. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://www.sws.org.ph/visuals/2018/pr20180923a/pr20180923a_vis03.JPG"/></figure></div><div><strong>ACROSS REGIONS </strong></div><p>Net satisfaction was lowest in the Visayas, falling by 12 points TP +57 from the very good +69 in March 2018, SWS said. </p><p>It was highest in Mindanao, climbing 3 points to +84 from the previous excellent +81. The region&#x27;s net satisfaction rating has been excellent in 7 out of 8 survey rounds since September 2016, and very good in one. </p><p>The net rating also increased by 2 points in Metro Manila (+67 from +65) and by 5 points in Balance Luzon (+58 from +53), SWS said. </p><p>The government&#x27;s anti-narcotics campaign has seen some 4,200 drug suspects <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/05/29/18/drug-war-death-toll-breaches-4000-mark-pnp">killed</a> and around 142,000 others arrested since 2016, according to police data released last April. </p><p>The campaign has drawn widespread criticism for alleged state-sponsored killings, which the government has denied. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/focus/10/07/17/nanlaban-lahat-cayetano-defends-drug-war-deaths">Nanlaban lahat?

It has a ±3 percent margin of error. </p><p>In the SWS scale, a score of at least 10 qualifies as &quot;moderate&quot; agreement while ratings 30 above are &quot;strong&quot; and marks 50 above are &quot;very strong.&quot; </p>
