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.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) Reproduction Research Datasheet released on Friday (11) shows how the dispute is going by the Presidency of the Republic. The survey was commissioned by Globo and the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. See the numbers of the stimulated research, in which Datasheet shows voters the names of the candidates.
