- On Monday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula regained a slim lead over Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a simulated runoff for next month's election, with the BTG Pactual and Nexus poll showing Lula at 47% to Bolsonaro's 46%.
- A separate Datafolha survey released Friday showed the contest neck and neck, while a Quaest poll published later Monday found Bolsonaro ahead 42 percent to 40 percent, leaving the race statistically tied within the margin of error.
- In a first-round scenario, Lula would lead with 42% of the votes, followed by Bolsonaro at 37%, with an October 25 runoff triggered if no candidate wins more than 50% on October 4.
- Federal police are probing Bolsonaro over allegations of money-laundering and corruption involving Banco Master owner Daniel Vorcaro, as a crisis inside the Supreme Court clouds the October vote.
- Corruption allegations against one of Lula's sons and a slowing economy have weighed on his re-election bid in recent weeks, though the candidate has denied wrongdoing as the campaign approaches October.
