BRASILIA (Reuters) – The approval rating of Brazilian right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro’s government has jumped despite Brazil suffering the second most deadly coronavirus outbreak in the world, a CNI/Ibope poll showed on Thursday.
The number of Brazilians that rate his government as great or good has risen to 40% from 29% in December, while those that view it as bad or terrible has dropped to 29% from 38% in the previous poll, the new survey said.
