BRAZIL: Despite corruption claims against PT, Silva’s momentum stalls
Marina Silva’s rise up the opinion polls appears to be losing momentum. Both Datafolha and Ibope, two respected polling organisations, show President Dilma Rousseff, from the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), gaining ground on the presidential candidate from the Partido Socialista Brasileiro (PSB). The latest survey, from Vox Populi, shows the two candidates in a technical tie in the second-round vote. Support for the president, it seems, has not been undermined by the latest accusations of corruption at Petrobras, the state oil company.
