Brazil's average voter for the coming presidential election in October is between 25 and 34 years old, has on average a high school education and a low monthly family income, equivalent to US$ 618. He lives in the Southeast region of the country, in a small town with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants.
Candidates who manage to convince the average voter are very likely to reach their objective and currently president Dilma Rousseff, the Workers' Party, PT, candidate for reelection, comes the closest to this average voter profile aspirations.
That helps to explain why Dilma leads in vote intention, with 47% in the most likely scenario, which is enough to win in the first round. This conclusion was drawn from data surveyed by pollster DataFolha on, with a two percentage points margin of error. The survey polled 2,614 people nationwide.
The data show each candidate's strengths and weaknesses. "It's a map to let them know where they should attack and what they should protect," says DataFolha's general director, Mauro Paulino.
