SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Support for Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government continued to rebound in August, extending a recovery from a low point earlier in the year, a poll showed Wednesday.
According to the survey by Genial/Quaest, approval for Lula's administration rose to 46%, up from 43% in July and 40% in May.
Correspondingly, the government's disapproval rate fell to 51% from 53% last month and 57% in May, the highest-ever disapproval in Lula's three non-consecutive terms in office.
The Genial/Quaest poll surveyed 2,004 eligible voters in person from August 13 to August 17. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.
