Survey showed that other names recorded even higher rates of disapproval: Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) leads with 68%, followed by Michelle Bolsonaro, with 61%, and Ciro Gomes (PDT), with 60%
The genius/Quaest poll released on Thursday (18) shows that the national rejection to the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), reached 40% in September. The index, which in March was 32%, has been constantly rising in recent months, signaling the republican’s higher exhibition in the electoral scenario. In the last month, the index oscillated one point upwards. Despite the climbing, the republican level is still below the one recorded by the whose rejection is 52% (also a point more than in August), and the Tarcísio’s political godfather, who has risen seven points and reached the highest level so far: 64%.
The former Bolsonaro infrastructure minister has given signs of approach to the most ideological pockets in recent weeks. In the first week of this month, Tarcísio spent 48 hours in Brasilia, where he met with presidents of parties and leaders of the National Congress to articulate the agenda of amnesty to convicted for attempted coup. The governor’s movement culminated in the act of September 7, when he said he would not accept the “dictatorship of one power over the other” or “a dictator as we should do”, in direct criticism of the minister of Alexandre de Moraes. “No one can handle the tyranny of a minister like Moraes,” he said.
The climb of tension, however, generated alerts on its own base. After the repercussion, Tarcisio was advised to reduce the speech temperature and avoid new public wear on the subject. Last Tuesday, 16, tried to signal moderation by stating: “The effort that had to be made was made.” Quaest’s survey, however, also points out a trump card for the São Paulo governor. Tarcisio is among the most nationally unknown candidates: 34% of voters said they did not know who he is. Among those who already know him, 26% said they would vote for him. The comparison with Lula reveals the abyss in terms of notoriety: only 2% said they did not know the president, and 46% said they would vote for him.
Other names tested recorded higher rejection rates. Licensed federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) leads the list with 68%. Former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro appears with 61%, and former minister Ciro Gomes (PDT) with 60%. Among the governors who emerge as potential right -wing candidates, the numbers are lower, pulled by the high ignorance. Paraná Ratinho Jr. (PSD) has 39% rejection, similar to that of Tarcisio; Romeu Zema (Novo), from Minas Gerais, 33%; and Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil), from Goiás, 32%.
The research also reinforces Tarcisio’s position as a natural heir to pockets. Among the voters who declare themselves Bolsonaro supporters, 23% point him as a preferred to succeed the former president. On the non -scholarship right, the index rises to 34%, leaving behind Michelle Bolsonaro, with 8%, and Eduardo Bolsonaro, with only 2%. The survey listened to 2,004 voters in 120 municipalities between September 12 and 14. The interviews were conducted at home through structured questionnaires. The margin of error is two percentage points, with confidence level of 95%
