Alagoas gubernatorial race shows technical tie between Renan Filho and JHC
A recent Real Time Big Data poll indicates a technical tie in the race for the governorship of Alagoas between Renan Filho (MDB) and JHC (PSDB).
In the simulated first round, Renan Filho holds 47% of the voting intention compared to 44% for JHC. Given the two-percentage-point margin of error, the candidates are considered to be in a technical tie. The poll also shows a similar closeness in a potential second round, with Renan Filho at 47% and JHC at 45%.
The data was collected between September 21 and 24, a period marked by significant political activity, including a visit to Maceió by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to support Renan Filho.
