Lula’s approval rating fell to 24% from 35% in December, with disapproval jumping to 41%. The ratings are the lowest for him in any of his terms, showing ongoing struggles. Conducted with 2,007 voters, the survey has a margin of error of ±2% and highlights a declining perception of his government.
Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has seen a significant decline in his approval rating, dropping to 24% from 35% since December, according to recent findings from Datafolha. Concurrently, disapproval rates have risen to 41% from 34%, while the perception of his government as “average” increased slightly from 29% to 32%. These statistics reflect the lowest approval and highest disapproval rates for Lula during all three terms of his presidency.
The recent poll highlights Lula’s ongoing struggle to regain the popularity he had during his earlier terms. Since the commencement of his current term in 2023, his approval ratings have consistently remained below 40%. The Datafolha survey, which included responses from 2,007 voters, was conducted over the weekend of February 10-11 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
The approval rating of President Lula has sharply declined, marking a worrying trend for his administration. Increasing disapproval and average ratings suggest a growing dissatisfaction among the electorate. As Lula continues his term, his ability to regain favor will be pivotal in shaping his administration’s policies and public reception moving forward.
