Recent Datafolha survey, commissioned by TV Clube, paints a favorable scenario for former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva among Piauí voters.
Current race scenario
The poll, released last Thursday (17), indicates that Lula reaches 59% of voting intentions. Flávio Bolsonaro appears in second place, with 20%, while candidate Augusto Cury registers 6%.
This is the institute’s second measurement since the official start of campaigns. The numbers reinforce the PT candidate’s position in Piauí, a state traditionally aligned with center-left candidates.
Highlights by candidate
- Lula: maintains comfortable lead, consolidating support in historical bases.
- Flávio Bolsonaro: grows compared to previous polls, but still far from the front.
- Augusto Cury: appears with modest percentage, seeking space among Piauí voters.
Methodology and context
Datafolha interviewed voters throughout Piauí territory, capturing the current moment of the presidential race. Piauí, with its demographic profile and electoral history, often anticipates regional trends in the Northeast.
The survey arrives at a time of intensified street agendas and television debates, directly influencing competitors’ strategies in the coming weeks.
