A new presidential poll has been released this week, confirming that the 2018 election is the most unpredictable race in Brazil’s democratic history. The front-runner for the race, former President Lula, is expected to remain excluded from the ballot. If that scenario is confirmed, then nearly half of the electorate won’t know who to vote for. According to the latest numbers, an astonishing 45 percent of voters remain undecided.
