This will be my first time voting in a presidential election in Brazil, and I must say, I’m not as excited as I wish I’d be. \u00a0Personally, I’m not crazy about any of the likely candidates… \u00a0But political opinion aside, it’s still pretty fun to keep track of and read up on what candidates have to say! \u00a0And in the spirit of Colombia’s intense presidential elections yesterday, I thought that until the elections, we can talk about them a little bit.<\/p>\n

Let’s start off with a blog post from Elei\u00e7\u00f5es 2010.net <\/a>on the matter, shall we?<\/p>\n

Uma hist\u00f3ria ficcional geralmente \u00e9 divida em tr\u00eas atos: in\u00edcio, desenvolvimento e conclus\u00e3o. A corrida presidencial deste ano parece seguir um script sem precedentes, com uma parte s\u00f3 sem defini\u00e7\u00e3o: seu final, que ocorrer\u00e1 ap\u00f3s a popula\u00e7\u00e3o brasileira, em outubro, eleger novo representante para o pa\u00eds.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ano passado, <\/em>Jos\u00e9 Serra (PSDB)<\/em><\/strong>, ex-governador de S\u00e3o Paulo e pr\u00e9-candidato \u00e0 presid\u00eancia da Rep\u00fablica, estava muitos pontos \u00e0 frente de <\/em>Dilma Rousseff (PT),<\/em><\/strong> ex-ministra da Casa Civil, nas v\u00e1rias <\/em>pesquisas eleitorais<\/em><\/strong>. Nas \u00faltimas semanas, por\u00e9m, a diferen\u00e7a tem diminu\u00eddo e de tanto isso acontecer, eis que o instituto CNT\/Sensus j\u00e1 indicava a petista l\u00edder na disputa, embora o empate t\u00e9cnico seja o constatado.<\/em><\/p>\n

Desta vez, a <\/em>pesquisa Datafolha <\/em><\/strong>tamb\u00e9m assinala a mesma caracter\u00edstica: <\/em>37% para cada um.<\/em><\/strong> Segundo o portal de not\u00edcias G1, estudo divulgado em 17 de abril indicou o tucano com 42% das inten\u00e7\u00f5es entre os eleitores, enquanto Dilma tinha em suas m\u00e3os somente 30%. Marina Silva (PV), terceira preferida pela popula\u00e7\u00e3o, manteve os mesmos 12 pontos percentuais constatados h\u00e1 um m\u00eas.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ser\u00e1 que Serra manter\u00e1 o discurso de os \u201cn\u00fameros reais s\u00e3o aqueles registrados nas urnas eletr\u00f4nicas\u201d? At\u00e9 l\u00e1 a novela poder\u00e1 ter seu fim, mesmo antes de ele chegar.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vale ressaltar que a margem de erros na pesquisa Datafolha \u00e9 de dois pontos, para mais ou para menos.<\/em><\/p>\n
