The right -wing electorate reaction to Donald Trump’s tariff shows a change of stance in the face of the commercial crisis between Brazil and the United States. According to the genius/Quaest poll released on Wednesday (16), even among scholarships, there are more contrary responses to the extent of the president and support to the union between government and opposition to face the crisis.
Among the voters who identify with the right, but do not consider themselves Bolsonarists, 52% estimate that Trump missed by imposing over 50% on Brazilian products. Among the pockets, 48% disapprove of the measure and 42% support it – a more balanced division, but still with a predominance of criticism.
Asked about the most appropriate strategy to deal with the situation, 74% of pockets support a union between government and opposition in defense of Brazilian interests. In the total of the national sample, this support to the Union reaches 84%.
The position of the electorate occurs amid exchanges of accusations between President Lula and Trump. The US president justified the fare based on a supposed persecution of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) by the Federal Supreme Court. In response, Lula classified the measure as “disrespectful” and defended a firm response. The government also sanctioned the so -called reciprocity law, which authorizes equivalent measures against countries that adopt commercial barriers to Brazil.
The rejection of Trump’s justification is broad :. Only 19% see reason in the American decision. Between pockets, 48% reject this argument.
Most (79%) also believe that tariffs will negatively impact their lives. In addition, 63% reject the allegation that the terms of trade between Brazil and the US would be unfair, an argument cited by Trump to justify the measure.
