Still, rising voter abstention, especially among less affluent Brazilians who lean toward leftist Lula, could mean the election goes to a second round. If no one among the 11 candidates gets more than 50% of votes, excluding blank and spoiled ballots, the two front-runners - almost certainly Lula and Bolsonaro - would go to an Oct. 30 run-off vote.
"Lula has a real chance of winning in the first round, but abstention will be a big challenge for his Workers Party and its allies," said Andre Cesar of political consultancy Hold Assessoria Legislativa. He warned that Lula's lead in opinion polls could leave some supporters thinking their vote is unneeded.
"If turnout is good in all groups, Lula wins outright," said analyst Rafael Cortez at Tendencias consultancy.Eurasia Group estimated last week a 20-25% chance of Lula winning the election in the first round, with the odds rising as supporters for candidates polling in low single digits switch to Lula and Bolsonaro.
fakenews he will lose. He has no support of the people. Only the establishment wants him.
Save THE RAINFOREST
What a shame. Given the choice of Bolsonaro vs. the corrupt Chavez Lover, the choice is clear.
Bolsonaro has been a terrible president. Great responsible for thousands of deads in Brazil during the pandemic. Don't care about the preservation of Amazon rain florest. I hope it all end this Sunday🙏
🤥🤥🤥
Mentira!!!
