When asked about Brazil’s influence in the world in recent years, many people in the U.S. and Latin America say it has stayed about the same. A median of 49% of adults across the six countries surveyed say this, but shares range from 64% in the U.S. to 37% in Chile.
A median of 22% say Brazil’s influence has weakened in recent years. A third in Chile say this, the highest share across the countries surveyed.
Few people overall (a median of 13%) say Brazil’s power is on the rise. No more than about one-in-five in any of the six countries surveyed say Brazil’s influence has strengthened in recent years.
In Argentina, Colombia and Mexico, people who have confidence in Lula are more likely than those with no confidence to say Brazil’s influence is getting stronger. Mexicans who lack confidence in Lula are less likely to express an opinion about Brazil’s influence in the world.

Confidence in Lula across Latin America
Confidence in Lula to do the right thing regarding world affairs is relatively low across the Latin American countries surveyed. A median of 30% in these five countries express confidence in him, while a median of 55% do not. Confidence is lowest in Chile, where only 21% have confidence in Lula’s decision-making.
We asked this question for the first time in 2007, during Lula’s second term as president. Confidence in Lula was higher in Chile and Peru than it is now. In 2007, 49% of Chileans expressed confidence in Lula, but only 21% do so today. In Peru, confidence has dropped from 53% to 30% over the same period.
In some countries, confidence in Lula varies by certain demographic factors.
In Colombia, Mexico and Peru, people with more education express greater confidence in the Brazilian president than those with less education. For example, Colombian adults with more education are 15 percentage points more likely than their counterparts with less to express confidence in Lula. Colombians with more education are also more likely to answer the question.
Mexican and Peruvian adults who have incomes above the national median are more likely than those with lower incomes to have confidence in Lula. And in Argentina, those on the ideological left are more likely than those on the right to trust Lula.
Note: Here are the questions and responses used for the analysis, the survey methodology for non-U.S. surveys, and the survey methodology for the U.S. survey.
