A little over a month into the interim government of Brazil's acting President Michel Temer, his administration was rated as “poor” or “terrible” by 39% of the population in June, according to a CNI/IBOPE poll commissioned and released today (July 1st) by Brazil's National Confederation of Industry (CNI).
Temer took office as Brazil's acting president on May 12, when the Senate carried a motion to suspend President Dilma Rousseff for impeachment proceedings.
In the latest CNI/IBOPE poll about President Dilma Rousseff's administration, released in March, 69% of respondents rated her government as “poor” or “terrible”.
The percentage of people who rated Michel Temer's administration as “excellent” or “good” was 13%, against 10% for Rousseff. Temer had 36% “average” ratings, compared to Rousseff's 19%.
The approval ratings for Temer are overall better than Rousseff's. The rate of respondents who said they approved of Temer's ruling style was 31%, compared to 53% who said they disapproved. In March, only 14% approved of Rousseff's ruling style, as against 82% who disapproved.
