President Lula has taken the lead over Flávio Bolsonaro in a hypothetical second-round election scenario, according to the latest poll by Quaest. The survey indicates Lula would secure 44% of the vote, while Bolsonaro would receive 38%.
This shift in polling numbers suggests that Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign may be facing difficulties. The article notes that while the election is still months away in October, the current results point to potential issues for Bolsonaro's candidacy. The description mentions that the film partially financed by Daniel Vorcaro and Bolsonaro's "hollow platform" may have contributed to his standing.
