A recent Datafolha poll indicates that 50% of Pernambuco's electorate views Governor Raquel Lyra's administration favorably, classifying it as "óptimo ou bom" (excellent or good). The survey, which polled 1,204 voters aged 16 and above between August 18-20, also revealed that 30% of respondents found the management to be regular, while 18% deemed it poor or terrible. A mere 2% offered no opinion.

Overall approval for Lyra's government stands at 66%, with 29% expressing disapproval and 5% remaining undecided. These figures suggest a stable political landscape compared to the previous month's poll. Lyra, affiliated with the PSD party, is currently campaigning for re-election in Pernambuco.

Her primary opponent is João Campos, the former mayor of Recife and a member of the PSB party. Other candidates vying for the governorship include Ivan Moraes (PSOL), Renan Hallais (Missão), Guilherme Fonseca (PSTU), Professor Jeremias do Banco (Democrata), Professora Camila (UP), and Victor Assis (PCO).
