Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro Turns Scandal Into Poll Gains
- An AtlasIntel/Bloomberg survey of 5,015 voters released Wednesday shows Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a statistical dead heat, with results falling within the survey's 1 percentage point margin of error.
- If no candidate secures more than 50 percent of valid votes on October 4, the top two frontrunners will advance to an October 25 runoff, prompting campaigns to prioritize first-round turnout.
- In a first-round scenario, Lula would receive 45.8% of voter support, followed by Bolsonaro at 43.4%, while Renan Santos, Augusto Cury, and Ronaldo Caiado trail with 4.5%, 2.1%, and 1.3% respectively.
- Simulated runoff figures show Lula holding a narrow lead with 47.7% of voter support compared with 47.4% for Bolsonaro, underscoring the race's razor-thin margin.
- The latest findings mark a narrowing from an earlier Quaest poll on August 5, which placed Lula ahead by a wider five-point margin of 44 percent to 39 percent.
