SAO PAULO (Reuters) - For the first time, a clear majority of Brazilians think the country's coronavirus pandemic is no longer "out of control," a Datafolha poll published on Thursday showed, in what could be a boost for President Jair Bolsonaro, who is almost certain to seek re-election next year.

Bolsonaro has seen his polls numbers sag due to his handling of the world's second deadliest outbreak, in which over half a million Brazilians have died from the virus, second only to the United States.
