Bolsonaro faces rising rejection from Brazilians: poll
BRASILIA - The approval rating of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s government is dropping steadily and its negative rating is climbing, a CNI/Ibope poll showed on Friday, as his combative political style and a weak recovery weigh on his popularity.
The number of Brazilians that rate his government as great or good has slipped to 29% from 31% in September, while those that view it as bad or terrible have increased to 38% from 34% in the previous poll, the new survey said. “The continued drop in popularity is Bolsonaro’s own doing. His way of governing and communicating is very aggressive and creates too much noise around the president,” said Leonardo Barreto, head of Brasilia-based consultancy Capital Politico.
It also polled opinions before the latest developments in a graft investigation of Bolsonaro’s son Senator Flavio Bolsonaro that could undermine the president’s credibility as an anti-corruption crusader, a key factor in his popularity.
