According to a survey conducted by Datafolha and released this Saturday (5), 57% of voters claim to be more determined to vote in the presidential elections of 2026 than they were in 2022. The margin of error for the survey is two percentage points, either higher or lower.

The survey, which was commissioned by TV Globo, interviewed 2,002 individuals aged 16 and older on September 1 and 2. The confidence level assigned to this poll is 95%. The registration number of the survey with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) is BR-03669/2026.

In addition to the data regarding voting determination, the survey also reveals that 46% of respondents express greater concern about this year’s election results compared to 2022. In contrast, 28% say they are equally concerned as in the previous election, while 24% feel less concerned.

A total of 2% of participants were unable to respond to the question about their concern regarding the election results, reflecting a level of uncertainty among some voters. This variety of responses may indicate significant variations in public perceptions and feelings toward the elections.

The highlighted results indicate that the majority of voters feel motivated to participate in the electoral process, showing a strong willingness to express themselves through their votes, which could impact the political landscape of the current election.

The Datafolha survey becomes an important reference for understanding the electoral climate and voter expectations as the voting day approaches.
