Datafolha says 49% of Brazilians support Bolsonaro's impeachment
Monday, May 17th 2021 - 08:36 UTC
A survey by pollsters Datafolha revealed 49% of Brazilians were in favour of impeaching President Jair Bolsonaro, it was reported.
Other surveys throughout the week had also found erosion in support for the president, despite Saturday's massive rally in his support.
The Datafolha study released Saturday shows that 49% of Brazilians support the removal of President Jair Bolsonaro through an impeachment process, while 46% were against it.
According to the researchers, the numbers represent a technical tie, but this is the first time that the portion favourable to impeachment numerically exceeds the share of Brazilians opposed to removal. In March, a survey by the same institute showed that 46% were in favour of impeachment and 50% expressed the opposite position.
