Lula remains in the lead in new Brazilian election poll

Brasilia, Aug 24 (Prensa Latina) Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva keeps up the lead in the presidential race, with 41% of the vote compared to 37% for Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, according to a new poll released.

These figures correspond to the eleventh edition of the BTG/Nexus survey and confirm the polarization of the presidential race, just over two months before the elections in October.

Lula, of the Workers’ Party, holds the same percentage as in the previous poll, while Flavio Bolsonaro, of the Liberal Party, gained one percentage point.

Former Governor of Goias Ronaldo Caiado, of the Social Democratic Party, appears in third place with five percent, followed by Renan Santos (Mission Party) and Romeu Zema (New Party), both with three percent. Augusto Cury (Avante) reached two percent and Samara Martins (Popular Unity) registered one percent.

According to the survey, five percent of those interviewed stated they would cast a blank or invalid ballot, and three percent did not know or did not answer.

The poll also evaluated a background that includes digital content creator Pablo Marcal, in which Lula reached 40% and Flavio Bolsonaro 34%.

In a potential runoff between the two largely supported candidates, the truth is that it is indeed even, the survey pointed out.

Thus, the president registers 46% compared to the senator’s 45%, a difference of just one point, within the survey’s margin of error.

The research also showed a high degree of voter certainty, and among those who chose a candidate in the first round, 80% stated that they had made their decision and did not intend to change it until the election.
