Polls Show Flavio Bolsonaro Slightly Leading Lula Ahead of Brazil Runoff
Ahead of Brazil's October 25 presidential runoff, polls show Flavio Bolsonaro slightly leading Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, with both candidates within the margin of error. Bolsonaro secured 51 percent to Lula's 49 percent in recent Datafolha and Quaest polls, reflecting a statistical tie. Lula has responded by increasing his social media presence and proposing social measures. The runoff follows Bolsonaro's surprising first-round lead over Lula, who had 45 percent of the vote compared to Bolsonaro's 47 percent.
