Lula da Silva's popularity has dropped even among those who had voted for him. Lula has not blamed anyone.

He even went so far as to say that he saw this decline in popularity as normal. In his interview Lula was blunt: “The message I want to leave for the Brazilian people, regardless of who people vote for, what party or what religion they bet on, we are going to make this country a country where people live happily,” says Lula.
