One tenth of the Brazilian electorate remains undecided about which candidate they will vote for for President this year, according to a Quaest poll on the race for the Palácio do Planalto published on Wednesday. This result is driven mainly by five segments: politically independent positioning, women, elderly people, income up to two minimum wages, and education up to elementary school.
The undecided correspond to 21% of the electorate that positions itself as independent, the highest percentage among the groups analyzed. The study also shows that the percentage of voters without a defined vote decreases as it approaches the poles represented by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL).
Among Lula's declared supporters, only 3% remain undecided, while 7% of those who classify themselves as part of the left have also not defined their vote. The Quaest poll indicates, therefore, that indecision is more concentrated among groups furthest from the extremes of the political spectrum, with emphasis on independents, women, elderly people, low-income people, and those with low educational attainment.
