BRASILIA, July 8 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's disapproval ratings rose to the highest level since he came to power 2-1/2 years ago, with the far-right leader also slipping further behind his main rival ahead of the election in 2022, two polls showed on Thursday.

According to a Datafolha poll, 51% of Brazilians disapproved of Bolsonaro, up from 45% in the previous poll in May and the highest since he took office in January 2019.

A survey carried out by XP/Ipespe showed 52% of respondents said Bolsonaro's government is doing a "bad/terrible" job, up from 50% in June and the highest since January 2019.

That figure has risen steadily from 31% in October, as a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation almost quadrupling to more than 8% has forced the government to extend emergency cash transfers to millions of poor families.

1. He'll Get Re-Elected

That's my guess. There are as many IDIOTS down there as we have up here.
