Brasília, July 16: Public approval of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration has risen for the first time this year, according to a new survey released Wednesday—coinciding with U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports set to take effect in August.

The latest Quaest poll, commissioned by Genial Investimentos, shows that 43% of respondents now approve of Lula's government, an increase from 40% in the previous survey conducted in May. Meanwhile, disapproval has declined from 57% to 53% over the same period.
The uptick in support comes amid heightened nationalist sentiment and public discourse surrounding Brazil’s economic sovereignty in response to the U.S. tariff hike. The move by President Trump has been widely interpreted in Brazil as a test of the Lula administration’s ability to defend national interests on the global stage.
Political analysts suggest that the shift in public sentiment may reflect a rally-around-the-flag effect, as Lula positions himself as a defender of Brazilian industry in the face of foreign economic pressure.
