Brazilian presidential candidate Dilma Rousseff saw her lead in voter opinion polls narrow to a one-month low, increasing the odds of a second-round ballot as voters defect to the Green Party.
Rousseff had 46 percent of voters’ support in a Datafolha poll conducted yesterday, down from 49 percent in a Sept. 21-22 poll, according to Folha de S.Paulo newspaper. Support for opposition candidate Jose Serra in the Oct. 3 election held at 28 percent, the newspaper said. The poll has a margin of error of two percentage points.
