President Lula da Silva, elected on October 30 for a third presidential term, ended the first three months of the new government with the worst assessment of this period of three transitions to power. This is what the Datafolha Institute survey published this Saturday, April 1 shows.
According to the poll, Lulu is currently approved by 38% of Brazilians and rejected by 29%. In 2003, at the end of the first three months of his first reign, Lulu was approved by 43% of Brazilians and disapproved by only 10%, and four years later, in 2007, at the end of the first quarter of his second reign, he had 48% -th positive rating with a deviation of 14%.
Elected by a very short margin, about two million more votes than Jair Bolsonaro of 147 million voters, Lula da Silva started his government tumultuously, not so much because of strong opposition from Bolsonaro’s supporters who dominate the Senate. and the Chamber of Deputies, but for internal reasons. With an overblown executive branch, 37 ministers and dozens of other high-ranking party representatives from the extreme left to the right, the government does not get along, many ministers do not get along with each other, they do not get along with the president himself and take populist measures without consulting him, and then not allowed.
The country’s economy, which currently affects the mood of the Brazilians most, is experiencing a period of disappointing stagnation due to a lack of achievements and innovations, discouraging those who expected the new president to launch all these proposals at the beginning of his term, studied by more than a thousand specialists. during the transitional period after the presidential elections, but which still have not moved forward. In the meantime, and this is what kept the Datafolha numbers from getting any worse, one of the few things that can be noted is the return of social programs that make life easier for the poorest, but in fact again have nothing, are a repetition of measures already implemented in previous administrations of Lula
