Senators Bong Go and Bam Aquino continue to lead the race for the vice presidency in the latest Tangere preferential survey, marking a second straight month where the lawmakers occupy the top two spots in voter preference ahead of the 2028 elections.
The March Tangere poll conducted from March 3 to March 6, 2026 places Go in first place with 26.7% voter preference while Aquino follows with 21.1%. The results keep both senators clearly ahead of other possible contenders in the early vice presidential contest.
The figures closely mirror Tangere’s February survey, which also placed Go and Aquino at the top of the rankings. In that poll, Go recorded 27% support while Aquino posted 21%, showing llittle movement at the top of the race, showing that both candidates developed a stable early support base.
The poll shows that the vice presidential race has remained largely unchanged even as the presidential contest experienced noticeable shifts during the same period. The survey described the support for Go and Aquino as a hardened base that has remained intact.
Go continues to draw strong backing from the National Capital Region, the Visayas, and Mindanao, linking this support to his association with the Duterte administration and the Malasakit initiatives that remain recognized in southern regions.
Aquino maintains strong support across Balance Luzon, the regions of Luzon outside Metro Manila, reflecting his long association with education and youth-focused legislation, including programs supporting scholarships, entrepreneurship, and student assistance
Other potential contenders trail behind the two leaders, placing the following candidates in the next positions:
3. Erwin Tulfo — 14.4%
4. Robin Padilla — 8.8%
5. Chiz Escudero — 4.9%
6. Risa Hontiveros — 4.8%
7. Imee Marcos — 2.9%
8. Sonny Angara — 2.1%
A total of 14.3% of respondents remain undecided in the latest survey.
Both surveys involved 1,200 respondents nationwide and carry a margin of error of ±2.77% at a 95% confidence level, offering an early snapshot of voter sentiment ahead of the 2028 elections.
