In good news for potential investors in Brazilian property, the country's people seem even more confident that it is handling the economic crisis well.
According to a poll carried out by Sensus, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva gained seven percentage points from March, going from 76.2 per cent to 81.5 per cent.
In addition, over half of those polled said they thought that Brazil and its government are managing the economic downturn in a positive way and 55.9 per cent thought that Brazil will come out of the financial problems stronger than before.
"It's the perception that the economy is stable that the government's measures are adequate," commented Ricardo Guedes, Sensus director.
In April, president Lula da Silva was revealed to be the most popular leader in the Americas by Mexican company Consulta Mitofsky.
This could be because the president has spent 646 billion reais (£192.5 billion) on planned investments since 2003, Reuters reported chief of Staff Dilma Rousseff as saying in February.
