Jorginho Mello, the incumbent governor of Santa Catarina running for reelection with the Liberal Party, holds a commanding lead in the October 4, 2026, gubernatorial race according to recent polling. Surveys from mid-to-late September show him at 49-66% in first-round scenarios, well ahead of challengers including João Rodrigues (PSD) and Gelson Merísio (PSB). His position stems from strong incumbency performance since winning the 2022 runoff, consistent campaign outreach to business groups such as Fiesc and Facisc, agronegócio leaders, and other constituencies, plus a formal commitment against tax increases. Official party launch in August and alignment with broader right-leaning coalitions have reinforced trader consensus reflected in current market pricing. A first-round victory remains the most likely path, though late developments such as shifts in turnout or unforeseen events could still influence the final outcome before voting concludes.
