Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro Turns Scandal Into Poll Gains
The one-point gap is within the poll’s two-point margin of error, while Lula leads Flávio Bolsonaro 40% to 37% in the first round.
- An AtlasIntel/Bloomberg survey of 5,015 people conducted between September 17 and 22 shows Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro statistically tied, with Lula holding a narrow 47.7% to 47.4% lead in a simulated runoff.
- Ahead of the October 4 first-round election, candidates need more than 50 percent of valid votes to avoid an October 25 runoff. Lula seeks a fourth term against Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
- Among first-round voters, 84% report their choice is finalized, according to Nexus. The government recently raised Bolsa Fam welfare payments by 15% to BRL691, a move officials defend as inflation-adjusted despite criticism.
- A simmering crisis involving the Supreme Federal Court has exacerbated distrust in institutions, impacting Lula's campaign. Senator Rogerio Marinho, Bolsonaro's campaign manager, branded Justice Alexandre de Moraes a "pop star of the left."
- With only 13 days until the first round, campaigns prioritize voter turnout to secure decisive victory as economic unease persists; average real labour income fell to BRL3,762 between March and July quarters.
