"The poll indicates that Lula would defeat any other candidate in the first round with 45%, followed by Bolsonaro's son (39%), who is gradually closing the gap since his father handpicked him as a successor. The surprise comes in the projection for the second round of voting, where the poll concludes that Senator Bolsonaro would garner 46.3%, one-tenth of a point ahead of the 46.2% for the veteran leftist, who is seeking a fourth term."
"They both face a similar problem: extremely high disapproval ratings (48% for the president, 46% for the senator), meaning there are very few swing votes that could push either of them to victory."
"Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva resumed his national agenda on Thursday after an intense trip that took him to the other side of the world, to India and South Korea, with a stopover in the United Arab Emirates, in search of allies during these turbulent times."
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva returned from an international trip to India, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates to face challenging electoral prospects. An AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll reveals a virtual tie in a simulated runoff between Lula and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the imprisoned ex-president Jair Bolsonaro's son. In the first round, Lula leads with 45% versus Bolsonaro's 39%, but the second round shows Bolsonaro ahead 46.3% to 46.2%. Both candidates struggle with severe disapproval ratings—48% for Lula and 46% for Bolsonaro—leaving minimal swing votes to determine the outcome. The election occurs in seven months, with Bolsonaro planning a major rally on Paulista Avenue in São Paulo.
