Recent polls, including Quaest's May 8-11 survey showing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at 39% and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro at 33% in first-round voting intentions, underscore the tight race reflected in trader consensus, with Lula holding a slim edge but statistical ties in simulated runoffs. Flávio Bolsonaro has consolidated right-wing support via his father's endorsement—despite Jair Bolsonaro's imprisonment for a coup plot—closing gaps seen in earlier 2026 polling averages. A fragmented field, featuring Romeu Zema at 4% and Ronaldo Caiado at 4-5%, ensures no first-round majority on October 4, likely forcing a runoff. Yesterday's leaked audio linking Flávio to the Banco Master scandal adds volatility, while upcoming debates, economic indicators, and regional turnout in swing states could create separation.
