Bolsonaro and Haddad in a hard electoral dispute.
BRAZILIA, Brazil. – The imminent general elections in Brazil, next Sunday, keep citizens immersed in a tide of percentages unleashed by successive polls of intention of vote.
Contrary to consolidated tendencies, the most recent polls give to Jair Bolsonaro, candidate of the Social Liberal Party, 31% of the intention of vote, followed by the aspirant of the Workers’ Party, Fernando Haddad, with 21 points.
Still, if it would have a second round two weeks later, it is not ruled out a technical tie between Bolsonaro and Haddad, the first with 44 percent backup, and the second with 42, while social networks feeding frenzy and fake news abound, particularly against Haddad.
According to SP Global risk rating agency, an eventual election of Bolsonaro would be bad for the Brazilian economic scenario and would increase the risk of delays in things that should be done after the elections.
