Polls Show Brazil's Lula Set for Massive Win By Reuters Thursday, October 24, 2002 SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) - Three opinion polls released on Thursday showed Brazilian presidential candidate Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva poised for a landslide victory in Sunday's runoff election. Lula, as the former union leader and veteran leftist is widely known, took 64 percent of the vote in a poll by Toledo & Associados for IstoE magazine. His opponent, Jose Serra, who is backed by the current government, won just 26 percent. The survey of 2,202 people had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points. Another poll by the Sensus institute for the National Confederation of Transport gave Lula 58 percent against Serra's 31 percent. That poll of 2,000 people had a margin of error of 3 percentage points, and showed Lula declining slightly from the last similar study. A poll by the Vox Populi institute released by Globo TV showed a similar trend, with Lula at 58 percent and Serra at 32 percent. The poll of 2,502 people had a margin of error of 2 percentage points. Barring an unforeseen event, Lula is all but assured of victory on Sunday, analysts say, turning him into the head of Brazil's first-ever elected leftist government. Investors have worried the former metalworker will mismanage Latin America's largest economy and its delicately balanced $260 billion public debt. But recent promises by Lula's Workers' Party that his government would keep a tight grip on state spending has helped soothe those concerns. (In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
