Lula maintains lead over Flavio Bolsonaro ahead of Brazil election, Datafolha poll shows
Datafolha found Lula ahead 46% to 44% in a potential runoff, with 2,002 voters surveyed and no change from last week.
On Friday, a Datafolha poll showed Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva maintains a numerical lead over Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a potential October runoff, with Lula at 46% against 44% for the senator.
Between September 8-10, Datafolha surveyed 2,002 people with a margin of error of two percentage points, establishing the methodology for this runoff scenario measurement.
In a first-round scenario, Lula leads with 39% of the vote, followed by Bolsonaro at 35%, Augusto Cury with 6%, and Ronaldo Caiado at 4%.
These figures remained unchanged from the previous poll released last week, indicating stable support levels for both candidates as the October election approaches.
Since 2002, every presidential election has required a runoff if no candidate secures more than 50% of valid votes in the first round.
Ahead of the Brazilian presidential election in October, a new survey has emerged. It shows a close race between Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro. Understand the electoral picture from the first round to a possible second.
