http://news.yahoo.com/brazilian-presidents-popularity-poll-plummets-144359463.htmlSAO PAULO (AP) Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's approval rating plummeted to a new low after Sunday's massive demonstrations protesting against corruption and calling for her impeachment, a new poll published Wednesday said.
The survey by the Datafolha polling institute showed that the president's popularity dropped even among Brazil's poorest, where her support has been always been strong.
Sixty-two percent of respondents said Rousseff's government was "bad" or "terrible," compared with 44 percent a month ago. Thirteen percent of respondents rated her government as "great" or "good."

Federal prosecutors say they've uncovered Brazil's biggest graft case yet in a kickback scheme at Petrobras, with at least $800 million in bribes paid by construction and engineering firms to politically appointed former executives at the oil company, all in exchange for winning inflated contracts.

Doncha know that all these protestors are really upper-class oligarchs!!!!! No African-Brazilians are protesting her. And, anyway, they're probably all just plants from the CIA.
