One in three Brazilians states that the amount of food in recent months hasn't been enough to feed the family, according to the Datafolha survey.
According to the survey, the percentage of voters with less than enough food at home rose from 26% in May to 33% in July. Another 12% say it was more than enough, the same percentage in both surveys. For 55%, food was enough – a decrease from 62% in May.
The percentage of those who do not have enough food is higher among women (37%), families with an income of up to two minimum wages (46%), those who declare themselves to be black (40%), and those who live in the Northeast region (42%).
Among those who intend to vote for former President Lula, 45% have insufficient food at home, a percentage that drops to 12% among Jair Bolsonaro voters.
The survey also shows that 17% of respondents belong to families who have sold some personal or valuable items to buy food and groceries in general.
