Presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr has retained a clear lead in a survey ahead of the May 9 election, though his lead has narrowed after Vice-President Leni Robredo picked up support, an opinion poll showed.

Backing for Marcos, the son and namesake of the country’s late dictator, dropped slightly to 56%, compared with 60% in the previous Pulse Asia surveys in January and February, while Robredo’s support grew to 24% from 15% the month before.
