Brazil election: Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro tied in latest polls

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro are locked in a statistical tie as the 2026 presidential election approaches. Multiple recent polls indicate a highly polarized race with no clear frontrunner.

A Quaest poll shows Lula leading the first round with 37% of the vote to Bolsonaro's 33%, though a simulated runoff places the two in a technical tie at 41% for Lula and 42% for Bolsonaro. Similarly, a BTG Pactual/Nexus poll reports a first-round split of 40% for Lula and 37% for Bolsonaro, with a runoff simulation showing a narrow margin of 46% to 45% in favor of Lula.

Other candidates, including Augusto Cury and Ronaldo Caiado, maintain significantly lower support levels. Voters are showing high levels of conviction, with many indicating their choices are definitive. As the October 4 first-round vote nears, election officials have reminded citizens that various official photo IDs, including the e-Título app with a displayed photo, are acceptable for identification at the polls.
