Alegeri Brazilia 2026: Lula vs Bolsonaro, principalii favoriți în Turul 1

Recent polls indicate that Lula da Silva leads the Brazilian presidential race, but a second round is likely. Lula, representing the Workers' Party, has 40% support, while Flavio Bolsonaro follows closely with 36.2%. Despite Lula's current lead, Bolsonaro has shown stronger performance in other surveys. Lula previously served as president from 2003 to 2011 and faced legal issues that barred him from the 2018 elections. Bolsonaro, who served from 2019 until Lula's recent victory, is currently ineligible to run until 2030 due to legal troubles. The second round of elections is set for October 25, 2026.
