In the Real Time Big Data poll, released on the morning of September 14, André do Prado received 17% of vote intentions, in a technical tie with former minister Simone Tebet (PSB) and with congressman Guilherme Derrite (PP), who leads with 19%.
First and Second Choice Comparison
The same poll presents the distribution between first and second votes. For the first vote, André do Prado appears with 14%, while for the second vote his support rises to 19%, indicating that some voters consider him as a support choice.
Technical Tie with Other Candidates
In addition to the tie with Simone Tebet, André do Prado also shares the same percentage of 13% with former minister Marina Silva (Rede) for second place, according to the two-percentage-point margin of error. This scenario of technical ties increases the competitiveness of the race.
