Brazil’s Lula and Bolsonaro about even ahead of election run-off: Poll
The race between Brazil's president and the right-wing senator has tightened in recent days.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro remain about even on the eve of Sunday’s election run-off, shows a CNT/MDA poll.
The right-wing senator, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, would receive 46.3 percent of the vote compared with 45 percent for the leftist Lula, according to the poll released on Saturday. Last week, the poll showed Bolsonaro leading Lula 46.8 percent to 45.9 percent.
MDA surveyed 2,032 people from October 21 to October 23, with a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points.
Bolsonaro accused the incumbent of allowing organised crime to expand, driving families into debt and not addressing the higher cost of living.
