Lula maintains lead over Flavio Bolsonaro ahead of Brazil election, Datafolha poll shows

Datafolha found Lula ahead 46% to 44% in a runoff, with the numbers unchanged from last week’s survey of 2,002 voters.

  • On Friday, a Datafolha poll showed Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva maintains a numerical lead over Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a potential October runoff, with Lula at 46% against 44% for the senator.
  • Between September 8-10, Datafolha surveyed 2,002 people with a margin of error of two percentage points, establishing the methodology for this runoff scenario measurement.
  • In a first-round scenario, Lula leads with 39% of the vote, followed by Bolsonaro at 35%, Augusto Cury with 6%, and Ronaldo Caiado at 4%.
  • These figures remained unchanged from the previous poll released last week, indicating stable support levels for both candidates as the October election approaches.
  • Since 2002, every presidential election has required a runoff if no candidate secures more than 50% of valid votes in the first round.
