While Brazilians are not willing to pay the bill that demonstrators passed along to the federal government, they are massively in favor of the truckers' strike and believe that it should continue.
That's what was demonstrated by a Datafolha poll that surveyed 1500 people by phone on Tuesday (the 29th). The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3%.
Approximately 87% of interviewees approve of the truckers' strike, which, despite having lost strength, will set up roadblocks for the 10th straight day on Wednesday, the 30th. 10% positioned themselves against the demonstrations while 2% said they were indifferent. 1% of respondents weren't sure how to position themselves.
When asked whether they believed the strike should continue, 56% of respondents replied in the affirmative while 42% felt that it should be brought to an end.
