Two in every three Brazilians disagree that Brazil should favor the United States in matters of foreign policy, according to a new Datafolha survey.

Alignment with the US and the Trump administration is one of the main diplomacy guidelines of both president-elect Jair Bolsonaro and his Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ernesto Araújo.

The poll interviewed 2,077 people in 130 townships on December 18th and 19th and resulted in 66% of people disagreeing with favoring the United States to the detriment of other countries. The margin of error is two percentage points up or down.

Among the 29% of respondents that agree with the idea, half (15% of the total) say they agree entirely, and 14% say that they partially agree with the plan. One percent said they neither agree or disagree and 4% said they don't have any opinion on the topic.
