Alwaght- More than a quarter of Brazilians view CIA-backed interim President Michel Temer's government negatively and a majority want new elections this year.
According to an opinion poll released on Wednesday scandals and policy reversals have dented Temer's popularity.
Temer's government, which began on May 12 when Brazil's Senate suspended leftist President Dilma Rousseff in what has been termed as a 'soft coup', received a negative rating from 28 percent of Brazilians, according to the CNT/MDA poll.
Only 11.3 percent of those questioned gave it a positive rating, while 30.2 percent found it "regular".
Temer-led interim government was recently rocked by a major scandal.
This is after a senator who had a key role in the drive to oust president Rousseff has been caught in a secret recording in which he appears to say impeaching her is the best way to shut down a high-profile corruption probe.
The conversation, recorded in March as a first impeachment vote loomed, was made public last month and created fresh political turmoil in Brazil.
In the recording, Senator Romero Juca, a key member of the new government that took power after Ms. Rousseff was pushed out, seems to tell a colleague that all those being investigated, including the two of them, need to advance a “political action” to ensure the impeachment.
Supporters of Ms. Rousseff, who have argued all along that the effort to oust her had little or nothing to do with her budgeting practices, say the tape is evidence of a putsch.
WikiLeaks documents show Brazil's new interim president, Michel Temer, previously spied for the United States spy agencies in the country.
According to the whistleblowing website, Temer communicated with the US embassy in Brazil via telegram, and such content would be classified as "sensitive" and "for official use only."
Rousseff was suspended from office on May 11 after the Senate voted to put her on trial for breaking budget laws in a historic decision brought on by a deep recession and a corruption scandal.
Rousseff, speaking after being notified of her suspension said, "I may have made mistakes but I did not commit any crime." She called the impeachment "fraudulent" and "a coup."
