Cury's supporters reject Lula's continuity three times more than the return of the Bolsonaro family, Quaest shows

oglobo4 September 2026 at 21:40

The Quaest poll, released this week, reveals that Augusto Cury's (Avante) supporters reject the continuity of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) three times more than the return of the Bolsonaro family to the Presidential Palace. The survey shows a significant shift in the candidate's positioning, who jumped from 2% to 10% in voting intentions and now ranks third among the best-positioned presidential candidates.

When asked what worries them most, 60% of Cury's supporters said they are afraid of Lula's continuity in the executive branch, while 22% pointed to the return of the family of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Another 14% said they are afraid of both, 2% are not afraid of either, and another 2% did not know or did not respond.

The margin of error in this specific segment of the survey is 7 percentage points, meaning the percentages may vary within that range. Cury's growth in voting intentions represents a significant change compared to the previous survey, when the writer and psychologist appeared with only 2% of the preferences.

If the President of the Republic doesn't speak, does someone speak for him?
