Seguro with 69% approval in the first six months

Observador12 September 2026 at 15:36

António José Seguro records an approval rate of 69% during the first six months of his term as President of the Republic. This positive evaluation appears transversally among voters, indicating widespread support across the political spectrum.

The study data reveals, however, a significant exception: voters from the Chega party prove to be those who most reject António José Seguro, showing approval levels considerably lower than the other groups analyzed.

The head of State also manages to gather strong sympathy among the female electorate, suggesting greater receptiveness of women to his political figure.

The presidential term is evaluated positively in a transversal manner, which indicates that, despite the reservations of some specific groups, the general electorate approves of the President of the Republic's performance.

Why this matters

This article is of interest to Portuguese readers because it reveals the public perception of the President's performance at an early stage of his term, allowing an understanding of which segments of the electorate are more and less aligned with his leadership. The high approval contrasts with the significant rejection by Chega voters, which may signal political tensions to consider in the future.
