track record and when you talk to people both on the streets that are lula's supporters and. candidacy in her campaign they believe wholeheartedly that she will continue the programs little has started primarily narrowing the gap in this country between the rich and poor which is incredibly vast and they say no other government has really taken charge and doing and is social programs that have worked for this country and a way that is relevant to an emerging nation and not necessarily impressed upon them by another nation or an outside influence so she's really been leading in the polls at about fifty percent her leading opponent is at about thirty percent but if she doesn't get fifty percent in this first election it will go to a runoff because that remaining votes in the polls have been split between two candidates now the next candidate is a little more conservative now when you go to the polls in the rich areas where the upper class vote this is who they're voting for this is still a country that is vastly divided along class lines and you really see that in this election
