At least, that's what Brazilians are expecting.
While the world gasped in shock'n'awe over the 87% approval rating garnered by President Lula in Brazil in his last month of office (e.g. Reuters EngLang report here), your author's eye was caught a little more by another survey response in the very same CNI/Ibope poll. This charts shows....
...what Brazilians expect from the new Dilma Rousseff government that takes over January 1st, with most expecting a pretty smooth continuation of things. And that's probably true about most domestic political affairs, but your humble scribe has the feeling that Dilma is looking to run the macro-economy at a different tack...starting with an attempt to depreciate the Real. We shall see, but we do wish Dilma the best of fortune.
