Election goes to overtime

oglobo14 September 2026 at 04:05

The Quaest poll shows that the presidential election is still undecided. In the first round, Lula leads with 36% against 29% for the opposing candidate. In the second round, the two candidates are technically tied at 41% to 41%. The article uses a sports metaphor to emphasize that the score can still change, just like in a soccer game where premature fans were disappointed. Both candidates carry high rejection rates: 53% would not vote for Lula and 55% would not vote for Bolsonaro. The text concludes that Bolsonaro can win and Lula can lose, but neither scenario is a foregone conclusion. The article was exclusive for subscribers.

Why this matters

The poll directly affects Brazilian readers by showing that the presidential race is tighter than it appears in the first round, with the second round tied and massive rejections for both candidates, indicating that the result is uncertain and could favor either of the two.
