New Poll Shows Brazil Presidential Race in Key States
Listen to the story
A new poll shows how people may vote in Brazil's next presidential election. The poll is called Quaest. It looks at seven states and the Federal District, or DF.
The poll checks a possible runoff vote between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula is the current president. Flávio Bolsonaro is a candidate from another political side.
The poll studies big states like São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Minas Gerais (MG), and Pernambuco (PE). It also studies the DF, where the capital city is.
Another poll, called American Analytics, also asked people about this vote. It shows a tie between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro in a second round.
This means many people are still not sure who they will vote for. The race for president looks very close right now.
More polls will likely come before the real election. People in Brazil are watching the numbers closely.
