However, the likelihood of this, according to some experts, is unlikely, since the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira, is an ally of Bolsonaro.

In a previous poll by Datafolha, conducted in May this year, 49% of those polled were in favor of the president’s resignation.

Data released today shows that the percentage of people who advocate the removal of the Brazilian president is higher among women (59%), youth (59%), the poor (60%), blacks (65%), and homosexuals or bisexuals (77%).

In recent weeks, pressure on the Brazilian government has intensified due to suspicions of corruption in the procurement of vaccines against covid-19.

The first piece of the Datafolha Institute’s study, released Thursday, shows that the rejection of Jair Bolsonaro increased again to reach 51%, the highest since he came to power in 2019. In the past, Bolsonaro was rejected by 45% of respondents who rated his government as “bad or terrible.”

The positive assessment (excellent / good) of the head of state, which reached the worst level in March – 24%, remained stable, at the same level (24%). The number of those who consider the administration of Jair Bolsonaro “regular” in the published poll fell from 30% in May to 24%.

According to Folla de São Paulo, Bolsonaro, the leader of the Brazilian far right, continues to be the second-worst-rated president after two and a half years of his first term, since 1989, when elections returned to Brazil. directly to the head of state.

Bolsonaro is second only to Fernando Collor, who in mid-1992 already faced the shadow of a request for removal, leading to his resignation at the end of that year. At that time, Collor achieved 68% bad / very bad, 21% normal and only 9% excellent / good.

The second half of the poll, released Friday, shows former Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva leading the first round of the 2022 presidential election with 46% of the vote, compared to Jair Bolsonaro (25%).

According to DataFolha, Lula da Silva will also win Bolsonaro in the second round of the presidential election, with 58% of the electorate going to be preferred, while Bolsonaro will have 31% of the vote.

This week, Jair Bolsonaro threatened not to hold the presidential elections in 2022 if the voting results are not accepted in Brazil.

The print vote has already been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court (STF). However, the proposal to amend the Constitution, advocated by Bolsonaro, is in the Chamber of Deputies, which provides for this type of voting, replacing the electronic system that offers a response on the same day and which has been used for over 20 years in Brazil.

However, the leader of the Brazilian Congress, Rodrigo Pacheco, said that the elections in 2022 are “non-negotiable” and “this is not the result of the will” of the political authorities.
