More than half of Brazilians say he is ashamed of the STF, Datafolha points out

Datafolha survey released on Friday (27), points out that more than half of Brazilians are ashamed of the ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF). According to the survey, 58% of respondents say they embarrass the ministers of the Supreme, while 30% say they are proud of the court.

The survey is based on answers to the question: “You are more proud than shame or more ashamed than pride” of a series of institutions. 2,004 people were heard in 136 municipalities, between June 10 and 11. The margin of error is two percentage points, more or less.

Party-political preference was relevant to the research. Declared supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), currently a defendant in action tried by the first class of the Court, which analyzes his participation in a coup plot after the 2022 elections were even more negative about the STF, with 82% of respondents stating to be ashamed of the court.

Already among the voters of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT), 52% are proud of the ministers, while 36% are ashamed; 12% of respondents did not position themselves.

By party

The worst rate for the Court-91% against 5%-is among Bolsonaro’s PL supporters who was the target of a $ 22.9 million fine for “bad faith litigation” after the attempt to nullify the votes of 279,300 electronic ballot boxes in the 2022 elections.

Respondents who declared a preference for the PT show the opposite and with a smaller statistical difference: 53% proud against 36% of people who are ashamed of the court.

The religious preference of the interviewees also indicates differences. Catholics are 33% proud of the magistrates, while the embarrasses are 56%. In the group of evangelicals, 66% say they are ashamed of the ministers and 22% are proud.

The survey also reveals that among the people who consider the current government great or good, 57% say they are proud of the STF. Already among those who consider the management of President Lula bad or terrible, only 10% are proud of the ministers.

STF rejection rates are similar to that of other powers. 56% of respondents said President Lula’s ashamed, 59% said they were ashamed of the current deputies and 59% feel ashamed of the senators. The survey also pointed out that 55% of Brazilians are more proud than the shame of the military.
