      247 - A Genial/Quaest survey released this Monday (3) indicates that parliamentarians linked to Bolsonarism and who oppose the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) are the ones who exert the greatest influence on social media. According to the survey, opposition deputies and senators have greater reach and are more active in content production, in addition to registering more likes and shares.

      According to the research, eight of the ten most influential congressmen are Bolsonaro supporters. The list is headed by Congressman Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG). In second place is the evangelical influencer Fábio Teruel (MDB-SP), identified as independent. Third place in the ranking is occupied by Congressman André Janones (Avante-MG), the only parliamentarian from the government's base to be included in the list of the ten most influential.

      In the Senate, the list of the ten most influential parliamentarians on social media does not include any members of the government's base. In total, seven are considered "die-hard Bolsonaro supporters."

      Besides Janones, federal deputies Guilherme Boulos (Psol-SP), Humberto Costa (PT-PE), the national president of the PT, Gleisi Hoffmann (PR), and Senator Randolfe Rodrigues (Rede-AP) are the most influential parliamentarians in the government's base on social media.  

      The research is based on the Digital Popularity Index (DPI), developed by Quaest, and takes into account factors such as the number of followers, comments, and likes on the parliamentarians' posts, among other points.
