Brazilians overwhelmingly approve of the work of the Ministry of Health, led by Luiz Henrique Mandetta—76% of Brazilians say he has managed the coronavirus crisis well, according to Datafolha. This represents a jump of 21 points from the previous survey.
Jair Bolsonaro’s approval rate in the health emergency remained stable (35% to 33%. But the percent of people perceiving his work as a failure increased from 33% to 39%. The positive evaluation is higher among those who earn 2 to 5 times the minimum salary (35%) and in the range between 5 and 10 minimum salaries (36%).
