Brazil elections: Lula leads presidential race as Bolsonaro closes gap

Recent Datafolha polling indicates a highly competitive presidential race in Brazil. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva leads the first round with 39% of voting intentions, while Senator Flávio Bolsonaro follows with 35%. In a potential second-round runoff between the two, the results show a technical tie, with Lula at 46% and Bolsonaro at 44%.

Other presidential candidates include Augusto Cury, who holds 6% of the vote and recently declared assets totaling R$ 242 million. Ronaldo Caiado, Renan Santos, and Romeu Zema follow with lower percentages.

At the state level, Tarcísio de Freitas leads the São Paulo gubernatorial race with 49% of the intentions, ahead of Fernando Haddad, who has 27% to 29%. In Paraná, Sergio Moro leads the gubernatorial race with 35%, while Sandro Alex follows with 25%. In Mato Grosso do Sul, Eduardo Riedel maintains his lead for reelection.

The political landscape is further complicated by ongoing tensions within the Supreme Federal Court (STF) involving ministers Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça.
