Lula remains competitive and second-round result is unpredictable, says Nexus CEO
BTG Nexus poll shows Flávio Bolsonaro with an advantage, but highlights Lula's competitiveness and risks of abstention
TL;DR
- Flávio Bolsonaro leads Lula 52% to 48% in a second-round presidential race, according to BTG Nexus poll.
- The election outcome is considered unpredictable, with Lula remaining competitive despite Bolsonaro's lead.
- Abstention poses a significant risk, especially for Bolsonaro's campaign, as some voters may not turn out if they perceive the election as already decided.
- Bolsonaro has shifted his campaign strategy, notably by announcing support for ending the 6x1 work shift, a point previously pushed by Lula.
- The absence of gubernatorial races in most states increases the challenge for both campaigns to mobilize voters.
