Ipsos-Ipec: Negative evaluation of Lula's government is 40%, and positive rises to 33%
A recent Ipsos-Ipec survey reveals that 40% of Brazilians view President Lula's government negatively, while 33% see it positively.
A new survey conducted by Ipsos-Ipec indicates that the negative assessment of President Lula's government remains steady at 40%, with 33% of respondents rating it positively, an increase of three percentage points since December. Additionally, those who view his administration as regular have decreased from 29% to 24%. This fluctuation in approval ratings reflects the public's fluctuating sentiment towards Lula's governance over recent months.
In terms of governance style, disapproval slightly decreased to 51%, down from 52% in December, while the approval rating for Lula's handling of the presidency stands at 43% as of March, a marginal increase from the previous tracking of 42%. These statistics suggest a slow recovery for Lula's approval metrics, although the overall sentiment still indicates significant discontent among the populace.
The survey highlights that the most favorable ratings for Lula's administration come from specific demographics, including individuals over 60, the impoverished, residents of the Northeast region, and those with low educational attainment. This demographic breakdown could provide valuable insights for Lula's government as it seeks to bolster support in critical voter segments in the run-up to upcoming political engagements in Brazil.
