SAO PAULO/BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has grown more unpopular in June, pollster Datafolha said on Thursday, as his government’s approval rating dipped and disapproval rose.
Lula’s government approval ticked down to 28% in June from 29% in April, while the disapproval rate increased to 40% from 38% in the period, according to Datafolha.
Still, both rates remain better than February’s figures when Lula’s approval hit a record low of 24% and disapproval peaked at 41% during his three terms in office.
Those seeing Lula’s government as average fell to 31% in June from 32% in April, Datafolha said.
The poll surveyed 2,004 eligible voters in person on June 10-11. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.
