Brasilia, December 27 (RHC)-- A study by pollster Datafolha has revealed that at least 37 percent of low-income Brazilians do not have enough food to supply all their family.  

The survey showed that among those covered by the Auxilio Brasil program, these percentages of people who do not have enough to feed their families ranged between 20 and 35 percent depending on the region, with the northeast being the most affected area.

Similarly, among the unemployed, one of the sectors hardest hit by the food crisis in Brazil, 45 percent admitted that food is insufficient for their families.

In the case of entrepreneurs, nine percent suffer from this problem, while the same happens with 15 percent of civil servants and 13 percent of students.

One of the most interesting issues of the study was that of those who showed an intention to vote for candidate Luiz Ignacio Lula Da Silva, 34 percent face food insecurity while among voters for current president Jair Bolsonaro this figure is reduced to 12 percent.

Datafolha revealed that this study was conducted by interviewing 3,666 people from 191 municipalities in the country between December 13 and 15 and the margin of error of the survey is two percent.
