The Quaest survey commissioned by GLOBO and TV Globo reveals that corruption is the theme that most influences the Brazilian voter when choosing a candidate for President of the Republic. The survey, conducted with interviews across the country last week, shows that 31% of Brazilians point to "not being involved in corruption" as the main attribute to vote for a candidate for the Presidential Palace.
Beyond the corruption issue, the defense of democracy appears as another decisive positive attribute for the vote of Brazilians, tying as the most mentioned factor in the electoral decision.
The current political scenario is marked by accusations of irregularities directed at opponents and institutions, which have been on the agenda of presidential candidates' speeches during the electoral campaign.
When the factor is rejection of a candidate, connection to corruption cases stands out as the most mentioned aspect by voters, demonstrating that both the absence of involvement with embezzlement and the association with corruption scandals are determinant in Brazilians' choices.
