Polls show wear on Bolsonaro

BRAZIL POLITICS - Report 03 Apr 2020 by Murillo de Aragão and Cristiano Noronha

Two polls released today, April 3, show wear on President Jair Bolsonaro amid the coronavirus crisis. According to Datafolha, Bolsonaro’s performance is rated as “bad/very bad” by 39% of respondents. The president’s approval rating is at 33%. According to XP/Ipespe, the president’s negative rating reached 42%, while his positive rating is 28%. The poll numbers indicate that Jair Bolsonaro, after being praised for moderating his speech on national TV and radio last Tuesday, made a political mistake in changing course in the days that followed.

The president’s criticism comes amid Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta’s strengthening.
