Campos dropped from the coalition that elected Rousseff 1 year ago. He was stronger on the northern regions where former president Lula successfully conducted a "Venezuelization" process (trading government social subsidies for votes).

He was the third in the polls. Campos supporter were few, but my guess is that they will move to whoever substitutes him in the run, as the party now may add a new candidate at his position, and his aspiring vice-president is very popular.

No serious reports on foul play, there are no big differences between most candidates' platforms and the World Cup results did not have any significant results in Rousseff support.

Campos was 3rd, Aécio Neves is 2nd.

Hard to tell ATM, there's still possibility of Marina Silva (vice-candidate) to be the candidate.

No foul-play.

There are no differences between the candidates platform. Even the current president's platform is based on "changing everything", as her party hasn't been in power for almost 12 years.

No.

You're welcome.
