About 70 percent say they want things to change, a survey finds
The twists and turns in Brazil's presidential race ended on Sunday, at least for a few hours, as millions of Brazilians cast ballots in an election expected to force a three-week runoff campaign between incumbent Dilma Rousseff and one of her two top challengers.
