Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s advantage over Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a potential runoff ahead of October’s general election has narrowed, a CNT/MDA poll showed on Tuesday.
Lula would receive 48.0% of the votes in a runoff, compared with 39.1% for Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, according to the poll.
In a first-round scenario, Lula would lead with 42.4% of the votes, virtually unchanged from the June survey, followed by Bolsonaro’s 28.7%, Ronaldo Caiado’s 4.0%, Romeu Zema’s 3.3% and Renan Santos’ 2.8%.
CNT/MDA interviewed 2,002 people from August 5 to 9 in 140 Brazilian municipalities. The survey’s margin of error is 2.2 percentage points in either direction.
