Future of Amazon rainforest policies at stake in Brazilian presidential election

  • 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.
