Bolsonaro Tied With Lula in Largely Pre-Vorcaro Datafolha Poll

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro were tied in a hypothetical runoff, according to a Datafolha poll of voter preferences for the country’s election in October.

The poll, mostly conducted before a news report linked Bolsonaro to banker Daniel Vorcaro, put both candidates at 45%. Support for Lula was unchanged from the previous month’s poll, while Bolsonaro declined 1 percentage point.
