Resumo
O artigo analisa o comportamento eleitoral dos votantes evangélicos no Brasil e sua percepção sobre o regime democrático. Com base nas respostas dos entrevistados do ESEB 2002 e 2006 sobre o voto nas eleições presidenciais, a comparação do padrões de voto revelou a formação de apenas um importante grupo de identidade, mas não de interesse: enquanto no segundo turno de 2002, o candidato Lula foi o destinatário da maioria dos votos evangélicos identificados com o candidato Garotinho no primeiro turno, em 2006, o candidato à reeleição, Lula, não obteve margens de apoio entre os evangélicos significativamente maiores do que as conseguidas entre o restante dos eleitores. O artigo também destaca que os evangélicos são os eleitores mais insatisfeitos e ambivalentes com relação ao funcionamento da democracia no Brasil.
Abstract
The article analyses the electoral behavior of evangelical voters in Brazil and their perceptions about the democratic regime. Based on the ESEB2002 and ESEB2006 results about the vote in presidential elections, the voting patterns show the presence of an evangelical identity group, instead of an evangelical interest group. In 2002, the evangelical vote associated to the candidate Garotinho in the first round was directed to the candidate Lula in the second round; in 2006 the evangelical vote did not have a specific candidate in the second round. The article also shows that the evangelical voters are more dissatisfied and ambiguous with the functioning of democracy in the country than the other voters.
Key-words: Evangelical vote; religious cleavage; interest groups; satisfaction with democracy
