Only 4% of those surveyed have not yet decided their vote
The candidate of the Workers’ Party (PT) for the Presidency of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, could obtain in the second round up to 51% of the votes against the Liberal Party (PL) of the president, Jair Bolsonaro, which would reach 43%, according to a survey released by the consulting firm Ipec on Wednesday night.
In addition to those who have already decided their vote, 4% of those surveyed have confessed that they have not yet decided, a small number but one that could tip the elections to one side or the other, according to the newspaper ‘O Globo’.
In addition, within the two finalist campaigns, 92% have stated that they are sure of their vote, while the remaining eight percent could change it between now and October 30, when the elections will be held.
In southeastern Brazil, 45% of voters say they vote for Lula and 42% for Bolsonaro. In the Northeast, on the other hand, 69% say they vote for the PT against 25% who would vote for the current president.
In the north of the country, 50% prefer Bolsonaro, while 42% opt for the former president. In the south, Bolsonaro registers a greater intention to vote: 53% compared to 36% for Lula, as reported by ‘Folha de S.Paulo’.
In the first round, last Sunday, Lula obtained 48.4% of the valid votes, compared to 43.2% for Bolsonaro. The third place, Simone Tebet (MDB), was left with 4.2% and Ciro Gomes (PDT), with 3%. Tebet has already announced that he will support Lula in the final round.
