Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff’s approval rating fell for the first time since street protests last year pushed her popularity to a record low.
Approval of Rousseff’s way of governing fell to 51 percent in March from 56 percent in December, an Ibope poll published by the National Industry Confederation showed today. Her government’s approval rating slipped to 36 percent from 43 percent over the same period, according to the survey that polled 2,002 Brazilians from March 14 to 17 and has a margin of error of two percentage points.
