38 per cent voters rated the Rousseff’s Workers Party (PT) government as “excellent” or “good” up 6 per cent from July. The disapproval rate of Rousseff’s government fell six points in the last 30 days.
This was the highest rating of the PT government since April. An elated Rousseff tweeted “Bom Dilma” in Portuguese meaning “good” or “praiseworthy” Dilma, on Monday morning after the poll results were revealed.
The percentage of voters who said the Dilma administration delivered “average” management remained unaltered from July at 38 per cent.
The poll has a plus or minus 2 percentage point margin of error.
