BRAZIL: Rousseff’s momentum builds ahead of finale
Though still tied in the latest opinion polls, President Dilma Rousseff may be feeling marginally more confident of victory than her opposition challenger, Aécio Neves, ahead of the presidential run-off on 26 October. Not only have two consecutive Datafolha polls put her numerically ahead, but the surveys' results also show Brazilians feeling much more optimistic about the economy. A renewed confidence in Brazil’s future prosperity undermines Neves’s key argument that Rousseff is failing to fulfil Brazil’s potential.
