Datafolha Rio: Eduardo Paes has 43% and Douglas Ruas rises to 25%; Garotinho has 10%

extra11 September 2026 at 21:19

The Datafolha poll released this Friday places former mayor Eduardo Paes (PSD) in the lead of the race for governor of Rio de Janeiro, with 43% of voting intentions in the first round. In the previous poll, on August 22, Paes appeared with 41%.

Douglas Ruas (PL), an ally of Flavío Bolsonaro and president of the Rio de Janeiro State Legislative Assembly (Alerj), appears in second place with 25%, having risen from 19% in the previous poll. Former governor Anthony Garotinho (Republicanos) registers 10%, with a slight increase from the previous 9%.

On this same Friday, the Rio de Janeiro State Electoral Court (TRE-RJ) blocked, unanimously, the candidacy registration of Garotinho, which may impact his position in upcoming polls.

The other candidates present the following percentages: Colonel Busnello (Missão), William Siri (PSOL) and André Marinho (Novo) appear with 2% each, while Cyro Garcia (PSTU) and Juliete (UP) have 1% each.

Mendonça defends maintaining the removal of Federal Police director-general Andrei Rodrigues

Minister André Mendonça, of the Supreme Federal Court, defended maintaining the removal of the Federal Police director-general, Andrei Rodrigues, and the Police Intelligence director, Leandro Almada. The statement was filed after Rodrigues presented clarifications to the STF regarding the accusations of investigating authorities, defending the legality of his actions. Mendonça stated that the measure does not encroach on the president's competence to appoint and dismiss members of the PF leadership, highlighting that the Supreme Court has jurisprudence that allows the precautionary removal of public servants. The minister rejected the argument that the departure of the two directors would cause disorganization in the institution, arguing that other delegates have the technical capacity to assume the positions.
