Almost half of Brazilians say that the chance of voting for a Senate candidate increases if that person supports the impeachment of ministers of the Federal Supreme Court. This is what the Meio/Ideia survey, released this Wednesday (11), reveals.
According to the survey, 44% of Brazilians would give more support to candidacies that agree with the impeachment of members of the Supreme Court. For 33%, the issue is indifferent, while another 15.5% say that this would reduce voting intentions. Only 7.5% were unable to answer.
The Federal Supreme Court has been in the spotlight in recent years. With emblematic cases, such as Marco Temporal, the trial of the coup plot and the recent fraud at Banco Master, and decisions that were in disagreement with Legislative projects and amendments, the Court has been the target of criticism about exceeding the limit of Judiciary power and the actions of ministers, such as Alexandre de Moraes and Dias Toffoli, not befitting the position.
This year’s election will be responsible for renewing two-thirds of the available mandates in the Senate. Unlike most positions, senators serve for eight years after being elected.
The research was carried out by the Ideia institute, in partnership with Canal Meio, between March 6 and 10, 2026. 1,500 people aged 16 or over were interviewed across the country.
The survey has a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points and a confidence level of 95%. The research is registered with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) under number BR-00386/2026 and had a declared cost of R$27,600.
