Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has suffered his first major drop in popularity, an independent pollster found, after the deaths of two Manila teenagers in his controversial anti-crime crackdown triggered mass protests. The decline in support shown by the Social Weather Stations survey -- down to 67 percent from 78 percent in June who said they were "satisfied" with Duterte's performance as president -- came amid growing public outrage over drug war killings in the Philippines. Duterte assumed office in June last year vowing to eradicate illegal drugs in society by killing up to 100,000 traffickers and addicts.
