SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is still lagging behind rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva ahead of the runoff vote set for the end of the month, according to a poll by Genial/Quaest published on Thursday.
Former President Lula currently has 49% voter support, up 1 percentage point from last week's survey, while Bolsonaro was flat at 41%, according to the latest poll.
Pollsters were widely criticized after the first-round vote for significantly underestimating support for Bolsonaro.
The survey by pollster Genial/Quaest interviewed 2,000 people between Oct. 10 and 12 and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
