Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro appear virtually tied in a simulation of a second round of the presidential election, according to an AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll.
According to this survey, Flavio Bolsonaro would be ahead of Lula by only one percentage point, a gap considered a technical tie given the margin of error.
This result underlines the strong polarization of Brazilian political life, where the two camps remain firmly entrenched in the electorate.
The senator, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, is emerging as a major figure in the opposition and a potential serious candidate against the outgoing head of state.
This poll comes in a tense political context, marked in particular by the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro and the realignments within the Brazilian right wing.
It highlights the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming elections, with a particularly close balance of power between the main political figures.
Even though the campaign has not yet fully begun, these early indicators suggest that a future election could be decided by very narrow margins.
This dynamic finally confirms that Brazil remains deeply divided, with an electorate split between continuity and change.
