The Datafolha survey evaluating the first three months of the new term of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) shows the PT with lower popularity than those registered in his two previous passages in the post at the same time.

As for the areas of government, the indigenous issue was a positive highlight, and the economy, negative.
