Future of Amazon rainforest policies at stake in Brazilian presidential election

The outcome could weaken enforcement and expand legally permitted clearing as Flávio Bolsonaro and Lula offer sharply different forest policies.

  • On Thursday, a Datafolha poll showed Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro leading President Luiz Inacio Lula 49% to 45% in a simulated scenario for the October 25 presidential runoff.
  • Following the first-round vote on Sunday, in which Flavio Bolsonaro led Lula, this poll tracks voter sentiment for the upcoming runoff. Bolsonaro is the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
  • Datafolha surveyed 2,520 people in-person between October 6 and 7 to gauge voter preferences. The poll found 5% of respondents said they would cast a blank vote, and undecided voters made up 1%.
  • In Brasilia on Wednesday, Flavio Bolsonaro met with members of Brazil's Republicans party to announce their support for his campaign ahead of the runoff election.
  • Despite the 4-point lead, the result represents a technical tie, as the poll's margin of error is 2 percentage points. The election will determine Brazil's next president on October 25.
