A new survey by pollster Ibope, commissioned by TV Globo and newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, reports Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) with 31 percent of intended votes, Fernando Haddad (PT) with 21%, and Ciro Gomes (PDT) with 11 percent.
The negative ratings of President Dilma Rousseff's administration have had a slight decrease of one percentage point in March.
A poll by IBOPE Inteligência in collaboration with the Worldwide Independent Network of Market Research found that 50% of Brazilians do not believe that 2016 will be better than 2015. Among them, 13% expect it to be the same and 32% believe it will be worse than last year.
