This episode is about how the many ways surveys shape the rollercoaster campaign period. Rappler's campaign reporters talk about the perception war that candidates and their campaign teams wage and where surveys fit in. How affected are candidates by their standing in survey results? How do surveys inform their strategies on the ground?

"AND I QUOTE": This episode features a short clip from a door-stop interview with Isko Moreno during his La Union trip last February 17. Moreno, asked about recent surveys, says he believes in a "silent majority" and gains confidence from how people show up for his motorcades and town hall meetings.
