Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva would win a potential second-round run-off vote in the October presidential elections against opposition Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, an AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll showed on Wednesday.
Lula would receive 48.8 per cent of votes in a second run-off, compared with 42.3 per cent for Flavio Bolsonaro, son of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, the poll showed.
In an April survey, the two candidates were tied at 48 per cent.
In a first-round run-off scenario Lula would lead with 46.3 per cent of the votes, followed by Flavio Bolsonaro with 36.6 per cent, Renan Santos at 7.8 per cent, Ronaldo Caiado at 2.9 per cent, and Romeu Zema at 2.0 per cent, the poll found.
The AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll surveyed 4,999 people between June 26 and 30; the poll has a margin of error of one percentage point in either direction.
