The good and the bad news in the numbers on government disapproval

oglobo14 September 2026 at 15:18

Lula's government approval remained static at the same 43% from the previous poll, staying behind the 50% disapproval. The numbers showed no significant variation in the analyzed period.

The Quaest poll points out that the negative data is not in the numbers themselves, but in the historical context. Traditionally, governments seeking re-election usually see increases in approval ratings, mainly driven by electoral advertising.

The article highlights that this phenomenon is not happening in the current administration, which represents bad news for the presidential palace. The article is exclusive for subscribers.

Why this matters

Brazilian readers following the 2026 electoral race are facing an atypical scenario, where the government cannot politically capitalize on the pre-election period, unlike historically expected. The stability in the numbers suggests challenges in government communication and may directly influence party strategies in the presidential race.
