oglobo11 September 2026 at 21:09

The Datafolha survey released this Friday (11) shows the current governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), leading the re-election race with 49% of voting intentions. The main adversary, the former president of Caixa and former presidential candidate Fernando Haddad (PT), appears with 29%.

The previous Datafolha survey, released on August 21, showed Tarcísio with 45% and Haddad with 27%. In July, the survey pointed to 46% for the governor and 30% for the PT candidate, while in March, the institute's first survey this year, Tarcísio maintained the lead with 44% versus Haddad's 31%, showing a growth trend for the governor over time.

In the second group, other candidates appear: Carlos Machado (PCB) with 3%, Police Officer Edjane (Agir) with 3%, Vera Lúcia (PSTU) with 2%, Vivian Mendes (UP) with 2%, and Izadora Dias (PCO) with 1%.

In 2022, Tarcísio and Haddad had already faced each other in the second round of the São Paulo gubernatorial election, when the Republicanos candidate won with 55.27% of the valid votes.

Montenegro says school "lost quality". But solutions...

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro stated in Setúbal that the Portuguese school has lost quality and rigor in recent years, supporting the diagnosis with the PISA 2025 results, and announced a 170 million euro package to modernize 35 schools in the Setúbal Peninsula, funded by the EIB, as well as 500 euro monthly incentives to attract 600 teachers to the region. However, experts warn that the measures lack legislative scheduling, that execution depends on annual budget allocation in the State Budget, and that structural reforms require parliamentary approval, while the restriction on mobile phone use remains without a defined regime. Montenegro's discourse softened within 48 hours, no longer attributing blame exclusively to previous governments, although experts dispute the use of PISA as a curriculum assessment, emphasizing that results depend on socioeconomic variables and that improving skills takes about a decade to produce effects.
