A growing majority favor impeachment or resignation, according to a survey released on Saturday.

The poll showed 68 percent of respondents favor impeachment by Congress, while 65 percent think the president should resign. The president's approval ratings have been hammered by the worst recession in decades.

The president's popularity also fell, with 69 percent of respondents rating the government negatively. The current percentage is close to the president's lowest ratings on record, in August 2015, when 71 percent of respondents rated the government negatively.

Voters are not enthusiastic about a government led by the vice-president. Some 35 percent of respondents say his government would be "bad" or "terrible".
