STORYLINE:
Brazil's presidential candidates Dilma Rousseff and Jose Serra campaigned in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, a week before the
South American country votes for its next leader.
Hundreds of people gathered along Copacabana Beach on Sunday, with flags and signs supporting opposition candidate Jose Serra, who was holding a rally there.
Some supporters carried giant puppets with plasters on their heads, a reference to Serra's last campaign stop in Rio when he claimed to have been hit on the head by supporters of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's
Workers Party.
In Western Rio de Janeiro, da Silva and his hand-picked candidate Dilma Rousseff visited three neighbourhoods in an open truck, including Bangu.
Rousseff and da Silva were accompanied by
Rio de Janeiro state governor
Sergio Cabral and Rio de Janeiro mayor
Eduardo Paes.
According to a string of new polls, Rousseff is holding onto her lead over Serra.
The latest poll, published on Friday by the
Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, has Rousseff 10 percentage points ahead of her rival, former
Sao Paulo state governor Jose Serra.
Half of those surveyed by the Datafolha research institute said they would vote for the Workers Party candidate Rousseff, while 40 percent backed Serra of the centrist
Brazilian Social Democracy Party.
The poll interviewed 4,037 people across Brazil on
October 21.
A survey by the Ibope polling institute showed Rousseff with a 51-40 percent lead, while the Sensus polling institute showed Rousseff ahead by 47 to 42 percent.
Both were published on Thursday.
The Datafolha survey also placed President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's approval rating at 82 percent, the highest any president has had since the institute began measuring presidential approval levels in
1985.
Voters will go to the polls on
October 31.
