Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff pulled ahead of opposition candidate Marina Silva in a runoff vote, according to a Vox Populi poll that is at odds with two other polls showing the race remains too close to call.
Rousseff’s support rose to 46 percent in an Oct. 26 second-round vote, up from 41 percent in the last survey published Sept. 15. Silva’s support fell to 39 percent from 42 percent, according to the poll released yesterday by R7 website. The Sept. 20-21 poll, which had a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points, surveyed 2,000 people.
