Flavio Bolsonaro slightly ahead of Lula in Brazil runoff, Datafolha poll shows

-

SAO PAULO, ‌Oct 8 (Reuters) - Brazilian Senator ​Flavio Bolsonaro is slightly leading President Luiz ⁠Inacio Lula da Silva in a simulated scenario of the October ​25 presidential runoff, a Datafolha poll showed ‌on Thursday.

• The senator, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, would ⁠receive 49% of the ⁠vote compared with 45% for Lula, Datafolha poll showed.

• It is the first Datafolha poll after ‌the first-round vote on Sunday, in ⁠which the younger Bolsonaro ‌surprisingly led Lula.

• The ​poll's result still represents a technical tie as the poll's margin ‌of error is of ​plus-minus 2 ⁠percentage points.

• 5% of the respondents ‌said they ⁠would cast a blank vote, and undecided voters made up 1%, the ​poll showed.

• Datafolha ‌surveyed 2,520 people in-person between October ⁠6-7.
