What would those reasons be?
Rural areas are poorer, so they vote for the one who has a record of ending hunger would make sense. Why do urban areas lean to Bolsonaro?
- endtime 4y agoI don't know a lot about Brazil, so someone may correct me, but I'm under the impression that crime in Brazilian cities can be quite bad.
- namenotrequired 4y agoThis is a big reason. Another is a feeling, common in better developed regions, that their tax money is being used to sustain regions that "don't pull their weight" Source: lived in Brazil for 5 years
- felix318 4y agoIt’s not that clear-cut, in the richest states in the South the pattern is similar to what you see in the US, urban left, rural right. Also, this election is not typical. Left or centre-left has won 6 ou of the 7 past presidential elections since the end of military rule. Brazil, like most Latin American countries, is predominantly left-leaning. Bolsonaro has been an anomaly and most likely will not be reelected.
- marcosdumay 4y agoI don't think any is obvious. But there are different views about urban violence (what is a huge talking point of Bolsonaro), different ways people get their news, urban community breakdown, different religious trends, and a lot more.
