Millions of Brazilian Voters Frustrated as Centrists Implode

With Brazil seemingly headed toward a two-horse presidential race between left and right, centrist candidates are losing their allies, leaving millions of moderate voters frustrated and at a loss over whom to support.

Former Sao Paulo Mayor Fernando Haddad of the leftist Workers’ Party has more than doubled his support over the past two weeks. He’s closing in on front-runner Jair Bolsonaro, the far-right former Army captain who was stabbed by a fanatic during a rally earlier this month. In a likely two-man runoff Haddad would have a slight advantage, polls show.
