Tight scenario in voting intentions
A new PoderData poll, conducted in partnership with the AyaBancah app, points to a technical balance between President Lula (PT) and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) in the race for the Planalto.
The numbers were released this Thursday, the 17th, and show that the petista's numerical advantage in the first round does not hold when the voter is taken to the second round.
Advantage in the first round
- Lula appears slightly ahead in first-round simulations.
- Flávio Bolsonaro figures as the main opponent in the poll.
- Margin of error keeps the two in a technical tie.
Reversal in the second round
In the direct clash, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro manages to reverse the situation and takes the lead, according to the collected data.
The study reinforces the polarization that still marks the Brazilian electorate, with both names concentrating the majority of preferences.
Methodology and context
The poll heard voters across the country and reflects the current moment of national politics. Experts highlight that small variations can define the course of the next elections.
PoderData is known for closely monitoring voting trends and often serves as a thermometer for campaign strategies.
