Governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) leads the race for re-election as governor of São Paulo with 42% of voting intentions, according to a new Quaest poll released on Tuesday. Former BNDES president Fernando Haddad (PT) appears in second place with 27%. Compared to the previous poll from August, when Tarcísio had 40 points and Haddad had 27, the governor's lead over the PT candidate increased from 13 to 15 percentage points.
Among the other candidates, Carlos Machado (PCB), Izadora Dias (PCO), and Police Officer Edjane (Agir) each appear with 1%. Vivian Mendes (UP) did not score. Blank, null, and voters who say they will not vote total 13%, while 14% of those surveyed are still undecided.
The poll also presents a runoff simulation, in which Tarcísio de Freitas appears with 48% (up from 47% in the August 25 survey) and Fernando Haddad with 10% (up from 9%). In this scenario, blanks, nulls, or those who say they will not vote represent 4%, while 64% are undecided, a reduction from the previous 66%.
