A recent survey conducted by Genial/Quaest has revealed that President Lula's government in Brazil is viewed negatively by 39% of voters and positively by 33%. The survey, which was carried out from February 5 to 9, involved 2,004 interviews with Brazilian citizens aged 16 and above. Notably, the approval rating in the Northeast region saw a decrease of 6 percentage points, dropping from 67% to 61%. The survey results are officially recorded with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) and have an estimated margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Comparative data shows that the evaluations of Lula's government have remained relatively stable over the past month. In January, both the negative and positive evaluations were similarly at 39% and 32%, respectively, while the 'regular' rating was at 27%. Currently, the government records an approval rate of 45% against a disapproval rate of 49%. This slight change in the positive evaluation suggests that while the government's perception remains unchanged overall, there are fluctuations in public approval, especially in key regions such as the Northeast.

The implications of these findings may reflect broader sentiments among the electorate regarding Lula's policies and governance. Given the political context and the critical nature of public opinion in shaping policy support, these numbers could impact future governance decisions and electoral strategies as Lula approaches key political moments in his administration. Such evaluations are crucial for understanding the evolving political landscape in Brazil and the electorate's response to the ongoing challenges faced by the Lula government.
