This Wednesday (11), a new survey by the Genial Quaest survey on the presidential elections that will take place in October this year was released.
In the first round, President Lula appears in the lead with 37% of voting intentions. Right behind, in second place, comes Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, with 30%. Governor Ratinho Jr. has just 7%.
In the scenario projected for a possible second round, Lula and Flávio appear technically tied, each with 41% of voting intentions. Furthermore, 16% of those interviewed stated that they would vote null or blank, or said that they would not go to the polls.
The survey also assessed Brazilians’ perception of the current government: 51% disapprove of Lula’s management, while 44% approve of him. Another 5% said they did not know or preferred not to answer.
When compared to Lula’s last two terms, 47% of participants consider that the current government is worse. 21% believe that there has been an improvement compared to previous periods.
The study interviewed 2,004 voters in 120 municipalities across the country between March 6th and 9th. The margin of error is two percentage points, with a 95% confidence level.
