Dilma Rouseff, the Brazilian presidential candidate of Bulgarian origin, is increasing her lead in the race for Brazil's Presidential Elections in October.
A public opinion poll of the Globo TV channel shows that Rouseff has a public support of 41% vs. 33% for her major opponent Jose Cera, cited by BGNES. Thus, Rouseff's lead has grown from only 1% a month ago.
Three other public opinion polls in the last month gave Rouseff a lead of between 5% and 10% ahead of Cera.
The economist and leftist, whose father was a Bulgarian immigrant first in Argentina and then in Brazil, has been put forth by Brazilian President Lula da Silva as the candidate of his Brazilian Workers' Party, after she worked closely with him as the head of his cabinet.
