A total of 32% consider the leftist leader’s government positive, while 29% classify it as average, according to a new Datafolha poll released Saturday (20).
When asked whether they approve or disapprove of Lula’s performance as president, 48% said they approve of the government (the same result as at the end of May), while 49% said they disapprove (compared with 48% at the end of last month). A total of 3% of respondents did not know how to answer in both May and June.
Since the previous poll, Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies approved a constitutional amendment proposal that would end the 6x1 work schedule (six working days followed by one day off), one of the government’s main electoral agenda items, but it is currently stalled in the Senate.
