Lula ahead in polls for Brazil’s first-round vote; runoff likely
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva appears to be leading in recent polls ahead of Sunday's first-round vote, according to multiple surveys. The polls suggest a tight race between Lula, the incumbent leftist leader, and his right-wing challenger Senator Flavio Bolsonaro. If no candidate secures more than 50% of valid votes, a runoff is expected to take place on October 25.
In the latest data from the MDA poll, Lula received 47.8% of valid votes, while Bolsonaro trailed with 42.1%. Other candidates garnered smaller percentages.
