According to the study by PoderData, the founder of the Workers' Party mobilizes 52 percent of the vote, while the ultra-right-wing president obtains 35 percent. The gap is 17 percentage points. According to local media, this is the first time in four months that the difference between Lula and Bolsonaro grows outside the margin of error of 2 points.
In mid-February, this same poll showed Lula with 50 percent of the intentions and Bolsonaro with 35 percent. Last April, two polls revealed a nine percentage point difference. The previous survey, applied at the beginning of June, showed that there was only a 10-point difference at that time, but from then on, Bolsonaro has been losing ground.
Among other interesting data, the PoderData study confirms that Lula would prevail over Bolsonaro in the first round of the elections, with 44 percent of the vote against 34 percent, respectively.
