- 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.
