What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as a tight Brazil election entering its final day, but they emphasize different angles. Al Jazeera focuses on the narrowing poll gap and the likelihood that neither candidate wins outright, France 24 stresses the candidates’ final campaigning in São Paulo and the race for undecided voters, and CNBC is alone in foregrounding Wall Street’s market reaction to two possible outcomes.
