The negative evaluation of the president’s (PT) government remained stable in March, with 40% of Brazilians considering it bad or terrible, while the positive view of the government —those who evaluate it as “great or good”— fluctuated 3 percentage points upwards in relation to December, reaching 33%, showed an Ipsos-Ipec survey released this Tuesday (10).
Those who rate the management as regular reached 24% in March, compared to 29% in December.
When the question is Lula’s way of governing, disapproval fluctuates at 51% — it was 52% in December. Approval of the president’s work reached 43% in March, one percentage point above the 42% in December.
The best government evaluation and approval ratings for the way Lula manages the country were recorded among people over the age of 60, the poorest, residents of the Northeast region and those with education up to elementary school.
Respondents were also asked about their level of trust in the president: 40% said they trusted Lula and 56% said they did not trust him. The two installments repeat levels verified in December by the survey.
The perception of the economic situation was also addressed by the survey. For 42%, the economic situation is worse, a number above that recorded in December, when this share of the electorate was 38%.
For another 27%, the situation of the economy improved, compared to 30% in December. There are still those who consider that the economic context is the same — 28% now in March, compared to 30% in December.
Carried out between March 5th and 9th, the survey interviewed 2,000 people in 131 cities in Brazil. The margin of error is two points, plus or minus.
