Brazil Poll Shows Strong Support for President’s Impeachment

The respected Datafolha agency says 68 percent of people surveyed want to see lawmakers vote to impeach Rousseff. That’s up 8 percentage points since February.

The results published in Sunday’s Folha de S. Paulo newspaper come on the heels of a topsy-turvy week in Brazilian politics that saw a Supreme Court judge suspend former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s nomination to a Cabinet post amid corruption investigations, as well as large-scale pro- and anti-government demonstrations.

The survey was carried out on March 17 and 18, with face-to-face interviews with 2,794 people in171 cities and towns. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points.
