Summary t was the worst popularity rating for a Brazilian president since 1992
SAO PAULO (AP) -A new poll shows President Dilma Rousseff s approval rating plummeted to a new low after Sunday s massive demonstrations protesting against corruption and calling for her impeachment.
The survey published Wednesday by the Datafolha polling institute shows the president s popularity dropped even among Brazil s poorest, where her strongest support has been strong.
Sixty-two percent of respondents said Rousseff s government was "bad" or "terrible," compared with 44 percent a month ago. Thirteen percent of respondents rated her government as "great" or "good."
Datafolha interviewed 2,842 people on March 16-17. The poll had a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
It was the worst popularity rating for a Brazilian president since 1992 when then-President Fernando Collor was impeached for corruption.
