Datafolha: Majority of voters say STF crisis does not change voting intention

oglobo12 September 2026 at 22:05

A Datafolha poll released this Saturday reveals that eight in ten voters say the unprecedented crisis at the Supreme Federal Court (STF) does not alter their presidential voting intention. The survey was conducted between Tuesday and Thursday, capturing voters' perception on different topics, including the public clash between ministers Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça over the Master Case.

According to the poll, messages implicating Moraes in the Master Case did not change the electoral preference of 85% of respondents. Similarly, the investigation request against Mendonça did not affect the voting intention of 86% of voters.

STF President, Minister Edson Fachin, scheduled a joint session to analyze, next Tuesday, the conduct of both colleagues. Fachin maintained the date for analysis of the investigation request regarding Moraes' connection to imprisoned banker Daniel Vorcaro on the 15th and set September 23 for deliberation on the matter.

Why this matters

Readers are closely following the STF crisis due to its potential impact on the country's institutional stability. The poll shows that despite the gravity of the mutual accusations between ministers, voters' perception indicates that the episode should not directly influence presidential elections, suggesting Brazilians prioritize other factors in choosing their candidates.
