Jair Bolsonaro's tenure as Brazilian President has gotten off to a rocky start despite campaign promises of a "better future" for the people of Brazil.

After 100 days in office, the far-right leader has witnessed a significant drop in his approval rating, hitting a dismal 34 percent at the end of March, the Brazilian Institute of Public Opinion and Statistics reported this month.

According to the Brazilian Institute of Public Opinion and Statistics, Bolsonaro's approval rating was 49 percent at the start of the new year; however, poor economic conditions and his controversial statements and behavior have dwindled his rating to 34 percent at the end of March.

"The feeling is that the situation is worse than it was before the elections," Rafael Alcadipani, an associate professor at the Getulio Vargas Foundation told the BBC. "Everyone wanted change in society but the commander-in-chief hasn't shown himself to be capable of delivering any type of change."
