Bolsonaro, Lula statistically tied in simulated Brazil runoff, Atlas/Bloomberg poll shows

AtlasIntel surveyed 5,000 voters and found Lula and the senator within the poll’s 1-point margin of error in a simulated runoff.

  • On Thursday, an AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll showed Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro statistically tied in a potential second-round runoff, with the senator holding a narrow numerical edge over the incumbent.
  • Polling data shows a shift in voter preference since late August, when Lula previously led Bolsonaro 47.1% to 42.6%, compared with earlier surveys showing 43.4% for Lula and 33.7% for Bolsonaro in first-round scenarios.
  • In the first-round scenario, Lula currently leads with 43.0% of the vote, followed by Bolsonaro at 37.4%, Augusto Cury at 6.6%, and Renan Santos at 6.5%.
  • If no candidate secures more than 50% of valid votes in the October 4 first round, the two frontrunners will advance to a runoff election scheduled for October 25.
  • AtlasIntel surveyed 5,000 people between September 4 and 9, with the poll carrying a margin of error of 1 percentage point for the upcoming national vote.
