President Dilma Rousseff’s approval rating fell to the lowest of any Brazilian president since the 1990s, as a shrinking economy and a growing corruption scandal dominated headlines in the first semester of her second term.
Approval of her administration was 15 percent in the June 18-21 survey compared with 19 percent in March, according to polling firm Ibope. The survey, contracted by the National Confederation of Industry, polled 2,002 people and has a margin of error of two percentage points.
