The Workers’ Party presidential pre-candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is leading a new poll conducted by pollster MDA for the National Confederation of Transport (Confederação Nacional do Transporte – CNT/MDA) on voting intentions for Brazil’s elections in October. The country’s former president is ahead the second and third places combined by some way.
The second place in the poll is far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro (16.7%), followed by center-right Marina Silva (7.6%). The margin of error is plus or minus 2.2 percentage points. The poll was released on Monday (14).
In a scenario where Lula does not run for office, Bolsonaro tops the poll with 18.3% of voting intention, a result that was massively covered up by the mainstream media in Brazil.
According to the CNT/MDA, 2,002 people were surveyed in 137 cities in 25 states, in all five regions of the country. Click here to read the full poll in Portuguese.
