Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula about even ahead of Brazil runoff, Datafolha poll shows

-

SAO PAULO, ‌Oct 22 (Reuters) - Brazilian Senator ​Flavio Bolsonaro and President Luiz Inacio Lula ⁠da Silva are about even heading to Sunday's election runoff, a ​Datafolha poll showed on Thursday.

The senator, the ‌eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, would receive 47% of the vote ⁠compared with 46% for ⁠the president, according to the poll. Last week, a Datafolha poll showed the younger Bolsonaro at ‌47% and Lula at 45%.

• The ⁠poll has a margin ‌of error of plus ​or minus 2 percentage points.

• 5% of the respondents said they ‌would cast a blank ​vote, and ⁠undecided voters made up 2%, the ‌poll showed.

• ⁠Datafolha surveyed 2,154 people between October 20-22.

• The senator surprisingly led Lula ​in the first-round ‌vote earlier this month.
