Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva lost seven points in polling intentions for the presidency in a period of just over a month. The drop represents a significant reduction in the advantage that the current president maintained over his opponents.
According to electoral projections, Lula now appears technically tied with at least three other presidential candidates. The technical tie indicates that the difference in voting intentions between the president and these competitors is within the margin of error of the polls.
The tie scenario repeats across all projections released before the elections. The situation represents a significant change in the Brazilian electoral landscape, which previously pointed to a more comfortable advantage for Lula over the other candidates.
