    If public opinion about her falls, she buys public opinion. She has the power, she has the money. The people pay the bill.

    “If 70% of Brazilians believe President Dilma Rousseff has some responsibility in the Petrobras corruption scandal, which involves contractors and politicians”, how the hell can 42% believe that the Rousseff administration is good or very good ? doesn't add up....or are those 42 % ok with the rampant corruption ??

    “However concern over corruption among Brazilian public opinion has dropped: last June it was seen as the country's main problem by 14% of the population. Now, that number has dropped to 9%. Healthcare leads the ranking with 43%”...
    The reduced concern over corruption, when the numerous scandals are all over the news, just points to one thing....the “sheeple” are either misinformed, or plain ignorant....and the 43% that are worried about public healthcare, are obviously the less priviledged classes - and the bulk of those who voted for the PT - and cannot afford their own private health plans....The irony of it is that these '“sheeple” are too stupid to see the close association between corruption and the consequent lack of minimally decent public services.
