The Datafolha survey released on Friday reveals Marina Silva (Rede) and Simone Tebet (PSB) tied with 13% of voting intentions for the Senate from São Paulo. Both are former state ministers in the Lula government and belong to Fernando Haddad's group (PT), candidate for the São Paulo executive.

André do Prado (PL), president of the State Legislative Assembly (Alesp), appears next with 11%, followed by federal deputy and former state secretary of Public Security Guilherme Derrite (PP), with 10%.

In the next part of the survey, Ricardo Salles (Novo), who runs independently in the right-wing field, scored 5%, followed by businessman Geraldo Rufino (Pode), with 3%, and by Guto Schiavetto (Missão), also with 3%.

In the spontaneous Datafolha survey, where names are not shown to interviewed voters, 68% are undecided, because they could not name a candidate. The survey is the first from the institute to measure the impact of free electoral advertising on radio and TV, which began on August 28th.

Rui Rocha: "MPs make many flourishes; they're used to TikTok"

In an interview with Jornal Económico, Rui Rocha, former leader of Iniciativa Liberal, explained the methodology behind his standout performance at the parliamentary hearing of Minister Luís Neves, where he asked concrete and focused questions that exposed the minister's inability to respond to important matters. Rocha criticized the remaining MPs for using open and too "flowery" questions, a habit he attributes to their familiarity with social media like TikTok. He defended that a good parliamentary question should be concise, closed, and preceded by a clear position from the questioner, in order to force the interlocutor to rebut or, through silence, validate his thesis. He revealed he started preparation in August, with a small team, and regretted not having had time to ask the minister what he would do if he were made a defendant.
