Poll Shows Mixed Results for Lula and Flávio in Key States
Listen to the story
A new poll shows different results in different states of Brazil. The poll is called Quaest.
In Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Flávio is in front. This means more people want to vote for him there.
In Pernambuco, Lula is in front. Lula is the current president of Brazil.
In two other states, Minas Gerais and the Federal District, there is a technical tie. This means the two men have almost the same number of votes in the poll.
The poll also shows one state where Lula has almost three times more votes than Flávio.
The first round of the election is only four days away. Many people are watching the numbers closely.
Polls like this help people understand how voters feel before an election. But the real result can be different.
