RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The refusal to vote for conservative Jair Bolsonaro (PL) has dropped by 10 percentage points in 5 months, shows a PowerData poll conducted May 8-10, 2022.
50% of voters say they would “not vote at all” for the current president in this round. In the poll conducted on December 19-22, 2021, the figure was 60%.
Leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), who leads the general election intentions, continues to have the lowest disapproval among the pre-election candidates tested, at 37%. In the mid-March round, PT’s rejection rate was 44%.
Ciro Gomes (PDT) has 48% in this rejection simulation. He had dropped 8 points since February 2022, when 56% said they would not vote for him “at all.” Former São Paulo Governor João Doria (PSDB) leads this table with 60%.
The potential vote for each pre-election candidate is asked individually and differs from the general election intention, in which Lula receives 42% of the vote and Bolsonaro 35%.
