🇧🇷 Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
Rio Grande do Sul Poll Lula Trails by Three Points
What happened
Real Time Big Data interviewed 1,600 voters in Rio Grande do Sul between 24 and 28 September 2026. The poll found Senator Flávio Bolsonaro of the Liberal Party on 44 percent and President Lula of the Workers' Party on 41 percent, counting everyone interviewed. In a head-to-head second round, the senator had 53 percent against 43 percent. The margin of error is two percentage points.
Why it matters
The poll's results may have implications for the governor's race in Rio Grande do Sul, where Luciano Zucco leads with 41 percent of valid votes. However, the state's voting history shows it often diverges from the national average, so the poll's results do not necessarily predict the national outcome. The election will be held on 4 October 2026.
