Governor Hana Ghassan (MDB), an ally of incumbent Governor Helder Barbalho, appears with 27% of voting intentions in the race for the executive office of Pará, according to a Quaest poll published on Saturday. She is in a technical tie with the former mayor of Ananindeua, Dr. Daniel (Podemos), who has 28%. The poll's margin of error is three percentage points.

The other candidates show low numbers: Gal Leite (UP), Well Macedo (PSTU), and Araceli Lemos (PSOL) each have 2%, while Jose Moita (Democrata) has 1%. The percentage of undecided voters is 29%, and 9% of respondents declared they would vote blank, null, or not vote.

In the simulated runoff, Hana Ghassan and Dr. Daniel remain tied, both with 36% of voting intentions. The undecided in this scenario are 20%, and 8% declared blank, null, or that they will not vote.

The survey interviewed 804 people aged 16 or older between August 25-28, with a 95% confidence level. The poll was commissioned by an unspecified media outlet in the available excerpt.
