Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro Turns Scandal Into Poll Gains
A recent poll shows Flavio Bolsonaro narrowing Lula’s lead as economic unease and a corruption scandal reshape the race, with only a small pool of persuadable voters.
- On Wednesday, an AtlasIntel/Bloomberg survey of 5,015 voters found President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a statistical tie, with results falling within the 1 percentage point margin of error.
- President Lula seeks a fourth term while facing a challenge from Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who has represented Rio de Janeiro in the federal Senate since 2019.
- Fieldwork conducted between September 17 and 22 shows Lula leading 45.8% to 43.4% for Bolsonaro in a first-round scenario, though the narrow margin keeps the contest effectively tied.
- Economic unease persists as the government raised Bolsa Família welfare payments by 15% to BRL691, while 24% of Brazilians report income growing less than the cost of living.
- If no candidate wins more than 50% of valid votes on October 4, the two frontrunners advance to a runoff on October 25 to determine Brazil's next president.
