Democracy Enjoys An All-Time Appreciation, Says Datafolha

The appreciation for democracy has never been so high among Brazilians, a Datapolha poll found out. To 69% of voters (all citizens between the ages of 18 and 65), the democratic regime is the best form of government.

This is the highest rate since 1989, at the time of the first election for president after the end of the military dictatorship (1964-1985), when Datafolha surveyed the question for the first time.

The approval rate increased when compared to the last Datafolha poll on the subject, from June 2018. Back then, 57% of voters elected democracy as the best form of government.

In the current presidential run, the two frontrunners - Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) and Fernando Haddad (PT) - mentioned the possibility of a new Constitution in case they are elected.
