A recent poll has revealed that 63 percent of Brazilians support opening impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff. Meanwhile, 33 percent are opposed to them.

A mere 13 percent of the 2,834 survey respondents evaluated Rousseff's administration with favor, according to The Associated Press. 

The survey, released on Saturday by the Folha de S.Paulo daily, took into account 171 municipalities and was conducted just days before.

The Brazilian leader, now in her second term in office, has politically suffered due to a corruption scandal at Brazil's state owned oil company Petrobras.

The New York Times reports in a March article that many of Rousseff's problems are tied to the oil industry. 

"Dilma Rousseff arrogantly claimed she got it all right when she was overseeing Petrobras, prioritizing oil over biofuels, encouraging the population to consume gasoline by keeping fuel prices low," said Adriano Pires, a prominent energy consultant, according to the NYT. "But now the shock is here: She got it all wrong, and the entire country is paying for her failed energy policies." 

The scandal involving kickbacks, coupled with Brazil’s stalled economy, as well as its perceived internal political fighting, has rocked Rousseff’s administration and led to numerous demonstrations.

The protests, which have been organized for the most part via social media, have taken place all over the socialist nation. The latest protests, which took place on Sunday, occurred from the northern Amazonian rainforest region to the ciry of Curitiba in the southern region.

Calling for looser gun control laws as as well as for the initiation of a military coup, what most of the demonstrators were really demanding was Rousseff's impeachment.

In Rio, several thousand people marched along the Copacabana beach in demonstration.

Whatever the turnout, this was a far smaller number than the tens of thousands.of protesters that had gathered a month back on March 15.

Analysts say that this lower turnout might actually mean the end of the anti-Rousseff movement.

Carlos Lopes, a political risk analyst at Brasilia office of the Insituto Analise consultancy, stated that "I do not think we will see the protest movement grow in size and frequency."

As quoted in the AP article, Lopes said that "people will be less inclined take part in future demonstrations and the movement toward large-scale rallies will begin to fizzle out."
