Lula and Bolsonaro Deadlocked as Vote Nears

  • On Monday, a BTG Pactual/Nexus poll showed Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a statistical tie for a simulated runoff, with Lula at 46% and Bolsonaro at 45%.

  • Conducted from September 18 to 20, the survey of 2,006 people includes first-round candidates Augusto Cury at 6%, Ronaldo Caiado at 5%, and Renan Santos at 3%.
  • A September 14 survey showed Lula leading Bolsonaro 47% to 46%, indicating the current narrow advantage remains within the poll's 2 percentage point margin of error.
