Brazil: More than two-thirds view coup gov't unfavourably
Monday, June 20, 2016
More than two-thirds of Brazilians assess the coup government of acting president Michel Temer unfavourably and 32% think he is even worse than expected, a new poll by Vox Populi revealed on June 14.
Temer has been acting president since elected President Dilma Rousseff was suspended by Brazil's Senate through an impeachment process viewed by many as a right-wing coup.
Temer was already a widely unpopular politician in Brazil. However, his first month as president and a series of unpopular measures, as well as a few scandals, have pushed his approval ratings even further south.
Thirty-four percent of those polled view the Temer government negatively, 33% view it as regular, and a mere 11% view it positively. The remainder did not know or did not respond.
