Distance between Lula and Flávio narrows in second round

A recent Nexus/BTG survey shows a highly competitive second-round presidential election in Brazil, with Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro in a technical tie, at 46% and 45% of the vote, respectively. In the first round, Lula leads with 41%, followed by Flávio with 37%, and Ronaldo Caiado with 5%. The survey, conducted from August 21-23, polled 2,006 voters by phone.

According to Marcelo Tokarski, CEO of Nexus, the election is wide open, and if a second round were held that weekend, it would be impossible to predict the outcome. The probability of Lula finishing first in the first round has dropped to 88% from 100% previously, according to Nexus calculations.
