Augusto Cury rises to third in Brazilian presidential polls

Augusto Cury, the Avante presidential candidate, has seen a significant rise in recent polling, positioning himself as a prominent third-way alternative in the 2026 Brazilian election. According to Quaest and Datafolha surveys, Cury has climbed to third place, reaching approximately 10% of voting intentions, trailing only Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro.

Cury's growth is particularly notable among independent voters, where he holds 24% preference, and among voters aged 16 to 34, where he holds 14%. His rise is attributed to increased digital presence and a less confrontational political discourse.

In addition to his political ascent, Cury's financial disclosures reveal a declared patrimony of R$ 242 million. Regarding his platform, he has proposed using drones and mobile apps to assist police in domestic violence cases and has advocated for stricter accountability for Supreme Court ministers, suggesting they should face impeachment for serious infractions.

Cury has also addressed recent controversies involving Federal Police reports on communications between banker Daniel Vorcaro and Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes, stating that all public officials must be subject to investigation regardless of their position.
