The same poll showed those rating Temer as "bad" or "terrible" fell to 72 percent from 74 percent in December.

Temer is considering running in the October elections, but analysts say he does not stand a chance if his high negatives do not come down and his approval rating does not rise above 15 percent. Pollster Ibope surveyed 2,000 people across Brazil between March 22-25, and the poll has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
