Three different opinion polls conducted in Ceará state, Brazil, have produced divergent results for two competing candidates, Ciro Gomes and Elmano de Freitas. The first poll, conducted by Ipsos-Ipec, showed Ciro Gomes with 43% support and Elmano de Freitas at 31% in late July, with a 12-point lead. The second poll, conducted by Datafolha, showed a 52% lead for Ciro Gomes and a 33% lead for Elmano de Freitas in mid-August.
The third poll, conducted by Real Time Big Data, showed an even split with both candidates at 44%. All three polls are registered with the electoral court, but there appears to be a discrepancy in the results presented.
