Economia, Popularidade e Intenções de Voto em Portugal: uma Análise Longitudinal com Dados Agregados

Author

Abstract

O presente artigo analisa o impacto da economia na popularidade dos governantes e nas intenções de voto dos portugueses. Os resultados das estimações realizadas revelam que: (1) os eleitores portugueses responsabilizam os governantes pela evolução da economia, em particular pelo desemprego; (2) os governos de direita são mais responsabilizados que os de esquerda pela evolução da inflação; (3) a avaliação do desempenho dos governantes é essencialmente retrospectiva. Os dados revelam ainda que a popularidade dos governantes/partidos depende da personalidade do seu líder, que existe erosão da popularidade ao longo de mandatos consecutivos no poder e que os governantes beneficiam de um estado de graça imediatamente após as eleições.
