BRASILIA (Reuters) - Approval of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government has slipped slightly after nine months in office, but almost half of Brazilians say it is doing a better job than that of his right-wing predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, a poll said on Tuesday.
The CNT/MDA poll said 40.6% of the people surveyed said the performance of the Lula government was "great" or "good" compared with 43% in the previous poll in May. The number of those who say it is "bad" or "terrible" has increased to 27.2% from 25% earlier.
