The survey, which interviewed 2,004 people aged 16 or older nationwide between September 10 and 13, has a margin of error of two percentage points and a confidence level of 95%.

Impact of Mobilization and Street Presence

  • According to Sóstenes Cavalcante, leader of the PL, the poll is “delayed” in relation to Flávio's growth, which had already been observed about two weeks prior.
  • The PL reportedly maintained a more intense schedule of events, with four rallies compared to one by the PT, and more noticeable mobilization in the streets.
  • Lula, in turn, reportedly maintained an executive chief's routine, while Flávio was on parliamentary recess, which could influence his availability for rallies.

Balanced Rejection Between Candidates

  • Regarding rejection, 55% of respondents state they would never vote for Lula, and the same percentage rejects Flávio.
