Rali: With new Quaest poll, Flavio Bolsonaro overtakes Lula in second-round scenario for the first time since May; see details

oglobo15 September 2026 at 07:30

The new Quaest poll shows Flavio Bolsonaro (PL) ahead of Lula (PT) in a second-round scenario for the Presidency of the Republic. The PL senator appears with 43% of voting intentions, while the current president has 42.9%. This is the first time since May that Flavio Bolsonaro surpasses Lula in this type of scenario.

The result is part of the Rali poll aggregator, an initiative by GLOBO in partnership with the Locomotiva Institute. The tool tracks and consolidates data from different electoral polls over time, allowing the visualization of trends.

The difference between the two candidates is just 0.1 percentage point, within the survey's margin of error. This indicates a closely contested race between the two contenders for the Presidential Palace.

The full article with more details about the poll is exclusive for GLOBO subscribers, and full access to the content requires registration on the platform.

Why this matters

This poll represents a significant shift in the Brazilian electoral landscape, suggesting a potential reversal of Lula's historical advantage. For readers, this indicates that the presidential race is becoming more competitive and unpredictable, which could influence campaign strategies and voting decisions in states where both candidates have strength. WHY: none
