Replication Data for: Entrenching right-wing populism under covid-19: denialism, social mobility, and government evaluation in Brazil

The data for this study comes from “A Cara da Democracia no Brasil” surveys conducted in 2018, 2019 and 2020 coordinated by the Institute for Democracy. The Institute is part of the Program of National Science and Technology Institutes funded by the Federal Government’s Capes Foundation and composed by researchers from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, State University of Rio de Janeiro, University of Campinas and University of Brasilia. Sample sizes vary by year, as does the mode of interviewing, but are representative of urban populations in Brazil. In 2018, 2500 face-to-face interviews were conducted in 179 municipalities. In 2019, another 2009 respondents were interviewed face-to-face in 151 municipalities and in 2020, 1000 interviews were conducted over the telephone in 69 municipalities. We will focus on the 2020 survey, collected in the first week of June, which included items on issues related to the pandemic. The 2020 survey is unique because it was conducted over the phone during the height of the pandemic first wave in Brazil. The fieldwork span from May 30th to June 5th, 2020, with a 3.1 per cent margin of error and 95 per cent confidence interval. The survey was in the field during a phase of accelerating deaths, which peaked a few weeks later, remaining at a plateau of high mortality rates. Hence, it was a moment of increased consternation with the disease as contamination and death rates were on the rise.本研究的数据源自巴西民主研究所（Institute for Democracy）统筹开展的2018、2019及2020年“巴西民主的面貌”（A Cara da Democracia no Brasil）系列抽样调查。该研究所隶属于巴西联邦政府卡皮斯基金会（Capes Foundation）资助的国家科学与技术研究所计划，研究团队由米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学、里约热内卢州立大学、坎皮纳斯大学及巴西利亚大学的科研人员组成。各年度的样本量与调研方式均存在差异，但所有样本均能代表巴西城市人口群体。2018年，项目在179个市政辖区内完成了2500份面对面访谈；2019年，研究人员在151个市政辖区内完成了2009份面对面访谈；2020年，则通过电话在69个市政辖区内完成了1000份访谈。本研究聚焦2020年6月第一周开展的本次调查，该问卷涵盖与新冠疫情相关的调研条目。2020年的调研具有独特性：它是在巴西第一波疫情高峰期通过电话访谈完成的。实地调研周期为2020年5月30日至6月5日，误差幅度为3.1%，置信区间为95%。此次调研正值新冠疫情死亡人数加速攀升阶段，死亡峰值在数周后到来，随后疫情维持在高死亡率平台期。彼时病毒感染率与死亡率均处于上升通道，巴西民众对疫情的恐慌情绪显著加剧。
