Lula maintains a commanding position in Amazonas first-round projections among traders, supported by consistent state-level polling showing the incumbent PT president ahead of Flávio Bolsonaro by margins that have widened in recent weeks. A late-September Quaest survey commissioned by Rede Amazônica placed Lula at 38% versus Bolsonaro at 32%, with Augusto Cury, Ronaldo Caiado, and Renan Santos trailing in single digits; earlier rounds indicated Lula drawing particular strength from interior municipalities that represent nearly half the electorate. Bolsonaro’s PL ticket benefits from national name recognition and capital-city support, yet faces structural headwinds in the North region. With voting scheduled for October 4 and limited undecided voters shifting dramatically in final surveys, market pricing reflects these regional patterns and the narrow window remaining for late momentum changes.
