Atlas survey: 63% of Brazilians have "no" confidence in the National Congress.
A survey by AtlasIntel reveals widespread distrust in the legislature and shows that only 3% of the population has "a lot" of confidence in parliamentarians.
247 - Brazilian public confidence in the National Congress remains at alarmingly low levels. According to an AtlasIntel survey released by Bloomberg on Tuesday (8), only 3% of Brazilians say they have “a lot” of confidence in Parliament, while 63% reveal they have “no” confidence — a figure that highlights the serious crisis of representation faced by the Brazilian Legislature. The data are part of the report “Latin America Pulse – June 2025”This survey, which outlines the political landscape of the region, was conducted between June 27 and 30, with 2.621 respondents from all regions of the country. The margin of error is two percentage points.
Numbers that expose the crisis - Research shows that 63% say they have “no” confidence in Congress. Another 27% say they have “little” confidence. Those who say they have “some” confidence in parliamentarians are 5%, and 3% have “a lot” of confidence.
These figures place the Legislative branch among the institutions with the worst public approval ratings in Brazil. This data is particularly relevant at a time when Congress exerts significant influence over economic and institutional agendas, such as the regulation of tax reform and the fate of so-called "rapporteur amendments."
Comparison with other institutions - The research also assessed public trust in other spheres of government. The federal government, for example, has a higher trust rating than Congress. The judiciary also enjoys greater public trust.
