Close to 40% of Brazilians disapprove of government
President Michel Temer's administration was rated bad or terrible by 39% of the Brazilians heard as part of a CNI/Ibope survey in September. The percentage of people who regard his government as OK totals 34%, and those who describe it as great or good add up to 14%. Twelve percent do not know or did not answer. The figures were released today (Oct. 3) by the National Industry Confederation (CNI).
CNI/Ibope's latest survey, conducted in June, evaluated Temer's then interim government after a little more than a month into his administration. The acting government was viewed as bad or terrible by 39% of the population, good or great by 13% and OK by 36%. Those who did not know or did not answer amounted to 13%.
Of the respondents, 28% approve of the way President Temer rules, against 55% who disapprove of it. In the previous study, these values stood at 31% and 53%, respectively. As for confidence, 26% trust in the president, and 68% do not—compared to the previous 27% and 66%.
The survey heard 2,002 people in 143 municipalities between September 20 and 25, and has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.
