Who is leading in the presidential polls? See the results

oglobo14 September 2026 at 15:52

The Quaest poll, commissioned by O GLOBO newspaper and TV Globo and published this Monday, placed President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) ahead in the first round with 36% of voting intentions, followed by Senator Flavio Bolsonaro (PL) with 31%. The Datafolha survey, released the previous Friday (11), showed a tighter scenario, with Lula at 39% against Bolsonaro's 35%, configuring a technical tie between the two candidates.

The remaining candidates appear with significantly lower percentages. Augusto Cury (Avante) appears with 7%, while Ronan Santos (Missão), Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) and Romeu Zema (Novo) each register 4% in the polls.

The dispute for the Presidency of the Republic is essentially concentrated between Lula and Bolsonaro, who represent the two opposite poles of the Brazilian political spectrum. The closeness between the two candidates in the surveys indicates a potentially close election, with the possibility of a second round between the two names.

Why this matters

Voters in the region need to understand the current electoral landscape as the 2026 presidential race takes shape. The article shows Lula maintaining a lead over Bolsonaro in both polls, with the gap varying between 5 and 4 percentage points depending on the institute, providing concrete data for voters tracking the candidates' performance. The mention of other candidates like Caiado and Zema also helps readers assess the full field of potential contenders.

Court gives reason to Passinha residents: Alenquer City Hall has 10 days to ban trucks at night

The Administrative Court of Lisbon Circle gave reason to the residents of Rua dos Bons Amigos, in Passinha, in Alenquer, condemning the City Council to prohibit the circulation of heavy vehicles during the nighttime period within 10 days. The sentence considers it proven that more than 300 trucks cross that street daily to access the Santos e Vale logistics center, a number much higher than the 26 vehicles estimated in the 2016 traffic study. The court found the damages to homes and health effects on residents, including sleep deprivation, to be demonstrated, and considered that the municipality never monitored traffic nor took measures to limit circulation. The total ban was not ordered because no alternative route was proven to exist, but the mayor, João Nicolau, may be personally condemned to daily fines if he does not comply with the decision. The municipality and Santos e Vale were also condemned to pay the costs of the process and may appeal.
