Forty-three Percent Do Not Trust Bolsonaro’s Statements, Survey Says

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – A survey released on Saturday by the Datafolha Institute shows that 43 percent of respondents never trust President Jair Bolsonaro‘s statements, while 37 percent said they sometimes do.

A total of 2,948 people were heard in 176 municipalities in all regions of the country between December 5th and 6th.

The margin of error is two percentage points, plus or minus, within the 95 percent confidence level.

When asked about Bolsonaro’s behavior on a number of occasions, taking into account his role as President of the Republic, 28 percent said that he does not behave like one in any situation, compared to 32 percent who felt the same way in their August survey.

In addition, 28 percent said that most of the time, Bolsonaro’s behavior was consistent with his position.

The survey also shows that 25 percent of respondents feel that the president behaves appropriately in some occasions, but not in most. Another 14 percent feel that Bolsonaro behaves appropriately in all situations.

According to the survey, the president is best rated among the public over the age of 60 and among people with family income between five and ten minimum wages. On the other hand, Bolsonaro has the lowest rating among Northeastern Brazil’s residents.
