Ipsos-Ipec: 55% disapprove of Lula's administration
More than half of Brazilians disapprove of the way President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) is managing the country, according to the Ipsos-Ipec survey released this Thursday (13). Those who disapprove of the third term of the leftist leader are 55%. Meanwhile, those who approve are 40%.
Those who don't know or did not respond accounted for 4%. This number has increased compared to the last survey, released in December 2024. At that time, the disapproval was 46%, representing a growth of nine percentage points, according to the institute. Among those who approve, there was a decrease of seven percentage points compared to the last survey.
A total of 2,000 voters were interviewed in person between March 7 and 11, 2025, in 131 Brazilian cities. The margin of error is two percentage points, plus or minus, and the confidence level is 95%.
Comparison Lula's job approval is higher among: those who evaluate his administration positively (94%); those who declare they voted for Lula in the 2022 election (74%); residents of the Northeast region (53%); those with elementary education (51%); those with a family monthly income of up to 1 minimum wage (50%); Catholics (50%); and people aged 60 or older (49%).
Disapproval is prominent among: those who evaluate Lula's administration negatively (96%); those who claim to have voted for Jair Bolsonaro in the 2022 election (88%); those who declare they voted blank/null in the 2022 election (77%); those with a family monthly income greater than 5 minimum wages (72%); evangelicals (66%); the more educated (64%); those aged 25 to 34 (63%); and those with another religion, other than Catholic or evangelical, or without religion (63%).
Ah, there is always that fervent defender, as if they were in a toxic relationship, defending the current administration without realizing that everything around is crumbling. And that is why we continue to be in this situation.
