Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : For months, it appeared that da Silva was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when Brazil's economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class.
51% : Many Brazilians support Bolsonaro's defense of conservative social values and he has shored up support with vast government spending.
48% : He claimed that his rival's return to power would usher in communism, legalized drugs, abortion and the persecution of churches -- things that didn't happen during da Silva's earlier eight years in office.
