Lula abre vantagem de 6 pontos sobre Flávio, diz Quaest

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva extended his lead over Senator Flávio Bolsonaro to 6 percentage points in a new poll conducted by Genial/Quaest. This widening gap follows Bolsonaro's alleged involvement in a corruption scandal and increased pressure from the United States on Brazil in the lead-up to the October election. The survey indicates that 42% of respondents would vote for Lula, compared to 36% for Bolsonaro. The poll also revealed that 12% of voters remain undecided, while 10% indicated they would cast a blank or invalid ballot. The research firm surveyed 2,000 eligible voters between September 10 and September 12, 2024, with a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points. The findings suggest a shift in voter sentiment, with Lula gaining momentum as the election approaches.
