Brazil Pulse - Temer's Evaluation is Considered to be Bad - June 2018
The country is still heading in the wrong direction to 95% of Brazilians, being at this very high level of ‘wrong direction’ since July 2017. To 85% of Brazilians the mood regarding the future of Brazil is of concern or outrage. With pride at a low, the anti-establishment feeling is more and more ingrained in the Brazilian society: a perfect ‘storm’ for populist speeches and charismatic leaders.
Evalutation
The evaluation of the President is considered to be bad or very bad to 88% of the Brazilian, an increase of 5 p.p. when compared to May. The overall worsening of the political, social and economic indicators gained an additional factor to the already known problems: the truckers' strike that preceded this study may have influenced the mood of the population.
Confidence
Consumer Confidence increased 2 percentage points against May and reached 74 points. The indicators of job security are still extremely high, affecting consumer confidence in different areas, such as small and medium-sized purchases and investments in the future. Unemployment remains the main problem of the country considering the public opinion.
