GENIAL Survey/Quaest released on Thursday (21) points out that 47% of respondents are more afraid of a return from former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) to the Planalto Palace, while 39% say they are more afraid of the continuity of the current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
Bolsonaro is under house arrest and after suffering convictions of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court).
The previous survey pointed to a draw: in July, 44% feared Bolsonaro’s return and 41%, a Lula sequence in the presidency. It is that the margin of error of the survey is two percentage points – more or less.
In May, 45% feared Bolsonaro’s return and 40%, a Lula continuity in the presidency. Already in March, the numbers were 44% and 41%, respectively.
