Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's approval ratings have struck rock bottom. Nearly seven in 10 Brazilians would like Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against Rousseff, according to a new poll.

A new poll published Thursday indicated that Dilma Rousseff is the most unpopular democratically elected president since the end of Brazil's military dictatorship in 1985.

Rousseff was revealed to have an approval rating of 8 percent, according to a survey conducted by polling firm Datafolha, and 71 percent of respondents in the poll said they disapprove of how Rousseff is doing her job.

Two-thirds of respondents said they would like to see Rousseff impeached.

Rousseff, who succeeded popular former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has been the target of widespread outrage over corruption, a foundering economy and increasing unemployment.
