-

SAO PAULO, Sept ‌15 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio ​Lula da Silva would beat right-wing Senator Flavio ⁠Bolsonaro if they were in a second-round runoff in next month's election, according to ​a CNT/MDA poll released on Tuesday.

• If there ‌was a runoff, Lula would receive 47.3% of voter support, compared with 40% for the eldest ⁠son of former President Jair ⁠Bolsonaro, the poll said.

• In an August 11 poll, Lula led Senator Bolsonaro by 48% to 39.1%.

• In a first-round scenario, ‌Lula would receive 40.5% of voter support, ⁠followed by Bolsonaro (30.4%), Augusto Cury (6%), ‌Ronaldo Caiado (3%) and Renan Santos (2.7%), ​according to the poll.

• The previous first-round survey showed Lula at 42.4% and Bolsonaro ‌at 28.7%.

• If no ​candidate wins more ⁠than 50% of valid votes in the ‌October 4 first ⁠round, the two frontrunners advance to a runoff on October 25.

• CNT surveyed 2,002 people ​from September 9 ‌to 13 with a margin of error of ⁠2.2 percentage points.
