“…He became the quintessential anti-PT candidate, something the PSDB had masterfully embodied until 2014. Antipetismo has become an important theme in the study of Brazilian elections (Paiva et al 2016;Borges and Vidigal 2016;Ribeiro et al 2016;Samuels and Zucco 2018). The election of 2018 tends to confirm that the PSDB was not the sole and perpetual recipient of this feeling, as Borges and Vidigal point out for the 2014 election (2016).…”

The 2018 Brazilian elections saw the rise to power of Jair Bolsonaro, yet another conservative politician who won an election in recent years. What were the ideological underpinnings of the Bolsonaro vote? Was his support based exclusively on resentment toward the Workers’ Party? This article uses a unique public opinion dataset, the 2018 Brazilian Electoral Panel Study, to explore how positions on divisive issues related to social, political, and cultural factors influenced vote choice and Bolsonarismo—affection toward Bolsonaro supporters—in the 2018 Brazilian presidential elections. Results indicate that in addition to resentment against the Workers’ Party, a cultural backlash perspective, and strict views on law and order, as well as economic liberalism and rejection of social policies, were the characteristics of support for Bolsonaro.

“…When framing Brazilian negative partisanship within the scope of the international literature on antipartisanship, Samuels and Zucco (2018) concluded that the Workers' Party (PT) was the focus of almost all Brazilian voters' party sentiments, be they positive or negative. For Samuels and Zucco (2018), Brazilian antipartisanship is practically synonymous with antipetismo. As evidence of this, they cite the fact that in 2014, "[...] 40% of voters were petistas [i.e.…”

This article analyzes the effects of antipartisanship in explaining the Bolsonaro vote in the 2018 presidential elections. The expansion of the anti-Workers' Party sentiment known in Portuguese as 'antipetismo' into an antipartisanship that accommodates a wider range of targets and a growing association between antipartisanship and political intolerance provide the context for and underscore the relevance of our tests. Our expectation is that the vote for Bolsonaro was strong related to both antipetismo and negative attitudes towards mainstream political parties, especially when such attitudes were intense. The empirical basis of the present work was data from the Barometer of the Americas (LAPOP), particularly from the 2018/2019 wave. Empirical tests indicate that antipartisanship in its varied forms is a relevant phenomenon and had a major role in defining the electoral choices of 2018, particularly in the vote for Bolsonaro.

“…National economic perceptions are a relevant issue in Latin American political behavior, as several works suggest the existence of sociotropic economic voting (Lewis-Beck and Ratto, 2013;Singer and Carlin, 2013). However, Latin America remains mostly unexplored regarding the influence of partisanship on economic perceptions except for Visconti (2017) and Samuels and Zucco's (2018) work. Visconti's (2017) article provides evidence from observational data of partisan bias in economic perceptions in two minor Brazilian cities.…”

“…Visconti's (2017) article provides evidence from observational data of partisan bias in economic perceptions in two minor Brazilian cities. Samuels and Zucco's (2018) work is the only one that employs an experimental design, which showed Brazilian partisans engage in motivated reasoning while evaluating the economy when presented economic information with partisan cues. With evidence of this phenomenon confined almost exclusively to the USA and UK, the argument remains untested for different economies and institutional settings.…”

The power of the electorate to reward or to punish governments for their performance is one of the pillars of conventional democratic theory, with economic perceptions as one of the most important issues for the public opinion. However, there is an ongoing debate over whether causality also flows the other way. This article aims to test whether partisanship shapes economic perceptions while extending the argument to the context of a developing economy. Furthermore, it analyses the impact of not only the direction of partisanship but also it's strength, an overlooked feature in the partisan bias literature. The analysis, which aggregates an unusually rich data set of Uruguayans' economic evaluations for the 2001-2019 period, presents strong evidence for the argument that both the direction and strength of partisanship produce great bias in economic judgments even in a developing economy context where citizens are more vulnerable to economic shocks. These findings suggest a rather unsettling scenario for electoral accountability in a significant part of the Uruguayan electorate.
