52% of those interviewed responded in this way, compared to 39% who said they were in favor and 9% who did not know or did not respond.

According to the survey, the non-Lulista left is the one that most rejects the measure (77%), followed by the Lulist left (72%). Bolsonaro supporters are those who most support the reduction (73%), followed by respondents identified with the non-Bolsonarist right (67%).
