President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s image recovery movement (PT) was interrupted, according to a new survey Datafolha released on Thursday (12).
The disapproval of the petista has licked to 40%, while 28% raise it positively, maintaining the worst level registered in their three terms.
In the previous survey, conducted in April, the disapproval was 38%, while approval was 29%.
The Datafolha survey was conducted between June 10 and 11, with 2,004 interviews in 136 municipalities. The margin of error is two percentage points for more or less.
Although the oscillation is within the margin of error of two percentage points, the data is symbolic: reverses the discharge trend of approval observed after the abrupt drop recorded in February, when the president reached only 24% optimal or good, amid the Pix crisis. The difference now is that the fall is associated with a larger popular scandal and more direct impact :.
Initially, the government tried to associate the case with the management of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), as the scheme began in 2019. However, as the fraud continued until 2024, the strategy lost strength, aggravated by the hesitant response of the Planalto and the late exchange in charge of pension ,.

The disorganization of the reaction generated internal noises and accelerated the wear and tear among the audiences that historically support Lula.
In the cut of voters who receive up to two minimum wages – a group in which Lula traditionally performs better – approval discreetly rose from 30% to 32%, while disapproval fell from 36% to 33%.
Among the voters with higher education, the fall was more significant: approval retreated from 31% to 25%.

The index of those who consider the regular government remained practically stable, from 32% to 31%. Another 1% of respondents said they did not know how to evaluate.
In addition to the INSS scandal, other recent episodes also contributed to the wear and tear of government image.
One of them was the official trip, which caused discomfort in diplomacy.

Another was, after negative reactions of market agents and the allied base itself.
The result is a warning to the Planalto Palace: recovery in popularity, which seemed to be drawing after replacing the head of Palmeira’s communication, may not resist far -reaching crises, especially when involving central campaign promises, such as the protection of the poorest.
