Presidential candidate Bolsonaro more popular

são paulo - The seriously injured Brazilian presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro is increasing in popularity in opinion polls. In a poll published on Wednesday, 26 percent of respondents said they were going to vote for him in the presidential election in October.

In the previous comparable poll that was 22 percent. It was just before Bolsonaro was stabbed by a man on election campaign on 6 September in the state of Minas Gerais. He is so upset that the doctors have said that he will definitely have to undergo a major surgery and need weeks of medical care. It is unrealistic to expect him to campaign for the 7 October elections.
