Aécio benefits from the war between Dilma and Marina.

“Aécio’s campaign strategy of uniting Dilma and Marina under the label of continuity and positioning himself as the candidate of “real change” seems to have had an effect on some voters,” said Mauro Paulino, director of Datafolha; in ten days, the PSB candidate fluctuated three points among those with incomes up to 5 minimum wages, who represent 77% of the population, fell four points in the Southeast and three points among those living in the South, who together account for 58% of Brazilians; while the PSDB candidate, in 15 days, fluctuated positively by three percentage points, standing out among the more educated and wealthy.

247 – A new Datafolha poll indicates that the PSDB presidential candidate Aécio Neves has benefited from the "war" waged in recent weeks between President Dilma Rousseff and Marina Silva (PSB).

According to an analysis by Mauro Paulino, general director of Datafolha, and Alessandro Janoni, research director, "Aécio's campaign strategy of bringing Dilma and Marina together under the label of continuity and positioning himself as the candidate of 'real change' seems to have had an effect on some voters."

In ten days, the PSB candidate's support fluctuated by three points among those with incomes up to 5 minimum wages, who represent 77% of the population, fell four points among voters in the Southeast region, and three points among those living in the South, who together account for 58% of Brazilians.

Meanwhile, the candidate from the PSDB party, in 15 days, saw a positive fluctuation of three percentage points, standing out among the more educated and wealthier voters. The candidate needs better performance in the North and Northeast regions, where he is well below his average.

For the next polls, Datafolha directors say that Dilma will be between 33% and 40%, Marina between 26% and 33%, and Aécio between 15% and 21% (read closest).
