SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilians' disapproval of President Jair Bolsonaro's handling of the COVID-19 crisis is at a record high and he may face a tough campaign for re-election next year, according to new polls, as Brazil struggles with its worst pandemic surge yet.
A Datafolha survey, released late on Tuesday, showed 54% of Brazilians regard Bolsonaro's handling of the crisis as bad or awful. A separate poll by PoderData showed two leftist rivals could beat Bolsonaro in a potential runoff vote in October 2022.
