Disillusioned Brazilian voters want a God-fearing president with ample political experience to improve social welfare and public security, according a poll published on Tuesday.

Nearly three quarters of respondents said it doesn’t matter what party their candidate belongs to, according to CNI/Ibope poll published on Twitter. Nearly half have no preference for a political party at all, the poll showed.
