The survey was conducted among 2,002 people and the margin of error is set at two percentage points. This very tight statistical lead does not allow for a certain victory to be established, thus confirming an extremely close contest between the left-wing candidate and the right-wing candidate.
Other polls published this week also show a very close electoral competition. Quaest gave the two candidates equal standing in a second-round simulation on Monday, while AtlasIntel/Bloomberg and Nexus recorded slight numerical advantages for Flávio Bolsonaro, still within the margin of statistical uncertainty.
The Superior Electoral Tribunal of Brazil has set the official dates: the first round is scheduled for October 4, 2026, and a possible second round will take place on October 25. With more than 158.7 million registered voters, the outcome of the election remains uncertain.
