Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva retains a 14-point lead over outgoing head of state Jair Bolsonaro in voting intentions and can hope to win in the first round on Sunday, according to a poll released on Thursday 29 september.

According to the benchmark institute

Datafolha

, Lula received 48% of voting intentions, compared to 47% a week ago, and Bolsonaro also rose by one point, to 34%.

Lula, who has already governed Brazil from 2003 to 2010, can be elected for a third term in the first round if he obtains more than 50% of the votes cast (without nulls or whites).

According to the

Datafolha

count , he is precisely credited with 50% of these voting intentions expressed, as a week ago, against 36% for the far-right president (35% in the last poll).

Within the margin of error

This score from the left-wing ex-president remains within the poll's margin of error (+ or - 2 percentage points), leaving uncertainty hanging over the holding of a second round on October 30.

In a second round, Lula would win with 54% of the vote, compared to Bolsonaro's 39%, according to

Datafolha

.

This opinion poll was carried out with 6,800 respondents, more than for the previous ones, and a final poll will be published by

Datafolha

on Saturday.

In a poll published Monday by the Ipec institute, Lula obtained 52% of the votes cast, against 34% for Bolsonaro.
