Here’s the second episode of Explaining Brazil, a weekly podcast created by The Brazilian Report. After discussing the federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro, we’ll talk about President Michel Temer and his electoral hopes.

Can Michel Temer win re-election?

By declaring a federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro, President Michel Temer is hoping to improve his electoral chances. The problem? He’s been polling at just 1 percent, meaning that his dream of reelection might just stay that way. According to polls, “corruption” is the word most-associated with Temer’s administration.
