POLITICAL dynamics seemed to have shifted as Senate candidate Luis “Chavit” Singson is emerging as a dark horse in the senatorial race in the 2025 midterm elections, skyrocketing from 14.71 percent in November 2024 to 26 percent in the latest Tangere poll survey in December, a remarkable surge of 11.29 percent in Singson’s popularity among the 66 senatorial candidates.
Though ranked 20-23 in the 2025 Pre-Election Senatorial Preferential Survey, Singson’s new voter preference rating makes him the most improved senatorial candidate.
Another independent survey provider — Pulso ng Pilipinas records a 22.75 percent jump in Singson’s favorability.
Singson’s campaign team sees the rapid ascent as a positive development and a sign of growing support for his candidacy, with his popularity soaring among voters in key regions like the National Capital Region (NCR), Northern Luzon and Central Luzon.
His support in the Visayas and Mindanao regions leaves room for growth and further strategic maneuvers.
Experts say his growth is largely attributed to his breathtaking social media numbers — where he placed third in online reach among all senatorial candidates in November.
The total number of respondents is 2,400, with 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 23 percent from Mega Manila, 20 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from the Visayas and 23 percent from Mindanao, with a 95 percent confidence and a margin of error of +/-1.96.
