Lula Maintains Polling Edge Over Flavio Bolsonaro

The Friday release of the Datafolha figures places Lula at 48% against 43% for the opposition senator and son of former president Jair Bolsonaro. This margin marks a slight expansion from the 47% to 43% split recorded in June. The consistent polling suggests that despite the intensifying campaign environment, the underlying support for both candidates remains largely anchored. As the electoral calendar progresses, these results underscore the primary challenge facing the Bolsonaro camp in their attempt to close the gap before voters head to the polls.
