Overview

  • The Genial/Quaest survey, conducted Feb. 5–9 with 2,004 respondents, reports a 95% confidence level and a ±2 percentage point margin of error, registered with the TSE as BR-00249/2026.
  • Trust is highly polarized by politics: 78% of self-identified Lula supporters express confidence in the system, compared with 18% among Bolsonaro supporters.
  • Religious views diverge, with 52% of evangelicals saying they do not trust the system and 57% of Catholics saying they do.
  • Regional results show higher confidence in the Northeast (59%) and the Southeast (54%), with ties recorded in the South and Center-West.
  • The findings follow years of attacks on the system by Jair Bolsonaro that prompted TSE and Federal Police actions and were cited in STF rulings tied to the attempted coup case and the Jan. 8, 2023 unrest.
