Lula Widens Lead Over Bolsonaro in Latest Brazil Poll

The poll, commissioned by brokerage Genial, tracks voter sentiment during a period of heightened volatility. Lula’s improved standing arrives despite a high-profile corruption investigation currently implicating a senior political ally. These findings underscore the resilience of his core support base, even as opponents attempt to leverage the scandal to sway undecided voters.

Beyond domestic legal hurdles, the campaign is increasingly defined by external economic concerns. Candidates are sparring over potential U.S. tariff threats, forcing a debate on Brazil’s trade strategy and global alliances. The survey reflects a shifting electorate that remains deeply sensitive to both the integrity of local leadership and the country's economic security on the world stage.
