Datafolha Finds Split, Stable Ratings for Brazil's Supreme Court and Congress After Bolsonaro Verdict and PEC da Blindagem

Overview

• The Supreme Federal Court is rated ruim ou péssimo by 35%, ótimo ou bom by 32%, and regular by 29%.
• The National Congress is rated ruim ou péssimo by 31%, ótimo ou bom by 21%, and regular by 44%, and the PEC da Blindagem controversy did not depress its standing.
• The poll interviewed 2,002 people aged 16 or older in 113 municipalities from December 2 to 4 with a two-point margin of error.
• Partisan splits are stark, with 63% of PT sympathizers viewing the STF positively versus 87% of PL sympathizers viewing it negatively.
• Fieldwork followed Bolsonaro’s conviction in the trama golpista case and the PEC da Blindagem’s archiving, yet evaluations remained broadly consistent with July readings.
