Institute shows small improvement in the image of the ministry responsible for facing Covid

São Paulo

Disapproval ratings of the performance of the Ministry of Health and of the governors regarding the conduction of the Covid-19 pandemic fell, according to Datafolha.

The disapproval of the work of President Jair Bolsonaro, on the other hand, remains high, although it has fluctuated negatively, within the margin of error of the research.

The survey was carried out with 2,071 people, in person, in 146 municipalities, on May 11 and 12. The margin of error is two percentage points.

According to the institute, 32% of respondents believe that the Health portfolio, responsible for national coordination of efforts against Covid-19, has a bad or terrible performance.

At the same time, there was no significant change among those who approve of the performance of the Health portfolio as excellent or good.

The slightly more favorable scenario for the ministry may be related to the change in the ministry's leadership since the last survey, carried out two months ago.
