Lula didn't win or lose votes in the JN interview

oglobo28 August 2026 at 22:18

In the interview with Jornal Nacional, former president Lula failed to achieve significant popularity gains, but also didn't lose votes according to the analysis. The performance was considered average, without major problems, but also without standout moments that could boost his image.

During the interview, Lula was unfocused when answering questions involving his son, known as Lulinha, a topic that the analysis states he should have anticipated and better prepared to address. The article criticizes that he didn't touch on important matters to him, such as the 6x1 work schedule.

The former president had positive moments when talking about the technological future, investments in technology and education. However, he got lost when repeatedly talking about the past, a period in which his current government is poorly evaluated for various reasons, which doesn't help solve concrete problems.

The analysis points out that Lula is in his fourth term and appears to have somewhat tired the electorate, maintaining himself as the leader in the polls, albeit with weaker leadership than in previous terms.
