Brazil’s Acting President Michel Temer fared better than his predecessor in an Ibope opinion survey although most Brazilians said they don’t trust his administration.

Temer’s seven-week-old government has no trust from 66 percent of the respondents, according to the poll published by the National Industry Confederation, or CNI. In March, 80 percent of the respondents in another Ibope poll said they didn’t trust the government of President Dilma Rousseff, now suspended for an impeachment trial.
