A study by the consultancy Quaest, commissioned by Globo and released this Wednesday, reveals a tight electoral race in Brazil, with former president Lula leading only by one point over Senator Bolsonaro Jr. According to the poll, Lula gathers 42% of voting intentions, while the oldest son of former president Jair Bolsonaro obtains 41%.
Bolsonaro Jr., current senator and prominent figure of the Bolsonaro family, thus emerges as a competitive candidate in a Brazilian political scenario marked by polarization between the Bolsonaro camp and the PT. The tight result suggests that the dispute may be decided in the final moments of the campaign.
The closeness between the two candidates in the polls indicates that Lula's support, although still leader, is far from being an absolute majority, which may create uncertainty regarding the outcome of the elections. The article does not specify what type of election is at stake or the date on which it will take place.
