The Future of the Presidency of Jair

Bolsonaro in Brazil

Jacob Vaughan

Brazil’s current president, Jair Bolsonaro is a polarizing figure,

both within the country and on the international stage. To analyze

his level of job security, we primarily consider his chances of

reelection in 2022 based on domestic popularity and support

from his voter base. The primary drivers of approval for

President Bolsonaro include the state of the Brazilian economy,

the welfare of average citizens, and the perception of Bolsonaro’s

efficacy in making Brazil stronger both domestically and

internationally. Bolsonaro’s constituency is influenced more by

domestic politics, which gives them greater significance in

regards to Bolsonaro’s job security. However, other factors are

also considered, such as the possibility of impeachment or

forceful removal by a coup. At the current state of these variables,

we assess with low confidence Bolsonaro has solidified his job

security until the 2022 election. We assess with high confidence

Bolsonaro will not be reelected in 2022.
