  • The poll also indicates that 37% view the government's management negatively, 36% positively, and 25% as regular.
  • Regarding the country's direction, 53% of voters believe Brazil is heading the wrong way, compared to 38% who think it's on the right track.

A new poll by Quaest reveals a divided public opinion on President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's administration. The survey, conducted between August 10-13 with 2,004 interviews, indicates that 48% of Brazilians disapprove of his work, while 46% approve. This represents a slight shift within the margin of error compared to previous polls.

The assessment of the government's performance also shows a near even split. Thirty-seven percent consider the current management negative, 36% positive, and 25% regular. These figures remain largely stable compared to a survey from July 15.

Furthermore, a majority of voters, 53%, feel that Brazil is currently heading in the wrong direction. Only 38% believe the country is on the right path. The poll, with a margin of error of two percentage points and a 95% confidence level, is registered with the Superior Electoral Court.
