📈President and reelection candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva gained 1.5 percentage points in voter preference ahead of the presidential runoff, reaching 48.8% of valid votes. According to the latest survey by the Ipespe/Abrapel institute, this increase reflects the president’s gradual recovery eight days before the decisive election on October 25.

📉 In contrast, Senator and far-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro saw a 1.5-point decline from the previous poll, standing at 51.2% of valid votes and losing his previous lead. The data confirms an upward trend for the ruling party in the final stretch of the campaign.

🗳️ The poll, registered with the Superior Electoral Court (BR-00223/2026), surveyed 1,500 voters nationwide and aligns with trends reported by other recent polls, such as those by CNT/MDA and Datafolha.
