BRASILIA (Reuters) - President Dilma Rousseff has lost ground among voters on worries about Brazil's faltering economy ahead of the Oct. 5 election, which will likely go to a tighter second-round vote, according to a poll published on Friday.

Rousseff is still the favourite to win re-election, but support for the left-leaning president has dropped to 34 percent, from 37 percent in a poll last month, and 10 percentage points since February, polling firm Datafolha said.
