Datafolha found Lula ahead 46% to 44% in a potential runoff, with the figures unchanged from last week.
- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula maintains a numerical lead over Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a potential runoff, a Datafolha poll showed on Friday. Lula holds 46% support against 44% for the senator, a son of President Jair Bolsonaro.

- In a first-round scenario, Lula leads with 39% of the vote, followed by Bolsonaro at 35%, according to Datafolha. Candidates Augusto Cury and Ronaldo Caiado trail with 6% and 4%, respectively.
- Runoff figures remained stable from the previous poll last week, while first-round support shifted slightly upward for both candidates. Lula previously held 38% and Bolsonaro 33% in the initial round.
- Datafolha surveyed 2,002 people between Sept 8-10 to compile these results, with a margin of error of two percentage points. The poll provides insight into voter preferences ahead of the October election.
