Quaest Poll Shows Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro Tied at 41 in the Runoff a Week Before Brazil Votes

The latest poll from Genial/Quaest shows President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro tied at 41 percent each in a runoff simulation, just a week before the Brazilian presidential election. This shift in the poll results comes after Lula had previously held a slight lead, with Flávio Bolsonaro's numerical advantage erased in the latest findings.

With a margin of error of two points, the poll interviewed 2,004 voters between September 24 and 27, and indicates that the election is likely to be a runoff on October 25, given the close nature of the race. This development underscores the volatility of the election and the need for preparedness for a long election night on October 4 and a probable second round on October 25.
