A survey conducted by Quaest and released on Wednesday, November 11, shows that the Brazilian public is divided on President Lula's government, with 49% disapproving and 45% approving of his administration. These percentages indicate a stable disapproval rate, remaining consistent since the last quarter of the previous year, suggesting that despite fluctuations, Lula's government doesn't appear to be gaining significant favor among the general public.

The research highlights that among supporters who identify as Lulistas, a strong majority of 96% approve of his administration, while only 3% disapprove. Conversely, among non-Lulista leftists, approval is also high at 82%, but with a noticeable disapproval rate of 15%. This indicates that while Lula maintains robust support among his core base and left-wing supporters, his appeal to a broader audience is limited, as signified by the persistent disapproval rate among the general populace.

The implications of these approval ratings are crucial for Lula's governance approach as he navigates political challenges ahead of the upcoming elections, signaling a need for addressing concerns from discontent constituents. Maintaining support from his electorate—especially amid various pressing issues facing Brazil—will be key to sustaining his administration's objectives and potential achievements in the future.
