Poll Shows Moro Leading Race for Governor of Paraná

A new poll has given fresh information about the race for governor in Paraná, a state in southern Brazil.
The poll, called Real Time Big Data, shows candidate Sergio Moro leading the electoral race.
According to the survey, Moro leads in both the first round and the second round scenarios.
In Brazilian elections, if no candidate wins more than half the votes in the first round, a second round takes place between the top two candidates.
The poll gives an early picture of how voters in Paraná may choose their next governor.
A governor leads a Brazilian state and manages public services and local laws.
Polls like this one are common before elections, as they show how popular each candidate is at a certain moment.
However, poll results can change before the actual vote takes place.
The Real Time Big Data survey did not include full details on the exact percentages for each candidate in the summary provided.
Still, the main finding is clear: Moro currently holds the lead among voters surveyed.
Elections for governor happen across all Brazilian states, and Paraná is one of the largest in the south of the country.
