Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro’s honeymoon appears to be coming to a swift end, as a new opinion poll shows a steady decline in his approval ratings.
Support for Bolsonaro has fallen 16 percentage points since January, and currently stands at just over 50 percent, according to a poll released Wednesday by Ibope Inteligencia. Thirty-eight percent of Brazilians disapprove of his presidency, the survey showed.
