Disapproval of Bolsonaro Presidency Jumps Amid Amazon Crisis

Brazilians saying that President Jair Bolsonaro is doing a “bad or terrible” job rose to 38% from 33% previously, following a global outcry over the government’s handling of record fires in the Amazon rainforest.

The Datafolha polling institute found that 29% say that Bolsonaro is doing a “great or good” job, down from 33% in July, according to the poll published Monday.

Brazilians who said the Bolsonaro was doing a normal job fell to 30% from 31% previously, within the margin of error. Datafolha found that 51% of Brazilians thought Bolsonaro had done a bad or terrible job responding to the Amazon fires.
