Lula government approval drops to 43% and disapproval reaches 50% amid STF crisis

oglobo7 September 2026 at 22:06

The Quaest survey released this Monday reveals that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government approval reached 43%, while disapproval reached 50%. The survey was commissioned by TV Globo and newspaper O Globo and is registered with the Electoral Court as BR-01720/2026. The survey interviewed 2,004 people between September 3 and 6, with a margin of error of two percentage points and a confidence level of 95%.

This is the first Quaest survey after the fallout from the Master case, which revealed details about the connection between Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes and Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master. The case involves alleged relations between the magistrate and the banker that have generated controversy.

According to messages obtained by the Federal Police, Vorcaro asked Justice Alexandre de Moraes for help to "move authorities" and requested the magistrate's intervention in matters related to his banking activities. These revelations are part of the context surrounding the new opinion survey on the federal government.

The Quaest survey data indicates a challenging scenario for Lula's government, with more than half of the population disapproving of the administration, at a time marked by institutional crises involving the Supreme Federal Court and questions about the independence of the judiciary.
