Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s lead in Brazil’s election race shrank to its smallest margin this year, according to the latest poll.
A PoderData survey published Wednesday showed the leftist opposition leader with 40% of first-round voting intentions, down from 41% at the end of March. Support for his main rival, incumbent Jair Bolsonaro, rose to 35% from 32%. Brazilians vote for their president in October.
