Former Brazilian President Lula da Silva could win the presidential election in the first round on Sunday, according to a poll released Saturday by the Datafolha Institute.
The research results are identical to those of Thursday. The latest debate between the candidates, which has been marked by intense exchanges of corruption allegations, appears to have had no effect on voters.
Lula leads the race with 50% valid votes, ie excluding blank and invalid votes, a criterion used by the election authorities for the election result, giving him the opportunity to win as early as Sunday.
To win on Sunday, the former Brazilian president must have at least half (plus one) of the valid votes.
According to the poll with a margin of error of two percentage points, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro follows in second place with 36% of the valid votes.
Ciro Gomes and Simone Tebet have 6% and 5% of the voting intentions respectively.
11 candidates are running for the Brazilian presidential election: Jair Bolsonaro, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Ciro Gomes, Simone Tebet, Luís Felipe D’Ávila, Soraya Tronicke, Eymael, Father Kelmon, Leonardo Pericles, Sofia Manzano and Vera Lúcia.
If none of the candidates obtain a majority of 50% plus one vote, the second round will take place on October 2 with the two most voted on the 30th.
