Lula’s lead narrows in potential Brazil presidential runoff, Atlas/Bloomberg poll shows

-

SAO PAULO, ‌Aug 31 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz ​Inacio Lula da Silva would win a potential ⁠second-round vote in the October presidential election against opposition Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, ​an AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll showed on Monday.

• Lula would ‌receive 47.1% of votes in a second-round runoff, compared with 42.6% for Flavio Bolsonaro, ⁠son of ex-President Jair ⁠Bolsonaro, the poll showed.

• In a July poll, Lula was seen with 49.2% of votes, and Senator Bolsonaro with ‌42.9%.

• In a first-round scenario, Lula would ⁠lead with 43.4% of ‌the votes, followed by ​Bolsonaro (33.7%), Augusto Cury (7.8%), Renan Santos (7.6%), and Ronaldo Caiado (3.3%).

• The previous poll showed Lula ‌at 44.9% and Bolsonaro ​at 35.8% in ⁠the first round.

• If no candidate ‌wins more than ⁠50% of valid votes in the first round, the two frontrunners advance to ​a runoff.

• AtlasIntel ‌surveyed 5,014 people between August 25-30; margin ⁠of error 1 ​percentage point.
