The last poll came out just yesterday[0]. It pointed out to Lula being way ahead of Bolsonaro (50% vs 36% for Lula), but so far it seems that Bolsonaro has a chance of finishing ahead of Lula (46% vs 44% for Bolsonaro so far).

It's the same as in the 2018 elections. I'm neutral in this election, but on this specific topic of election polls, I agree with the conspiracy theorists that something is really off about them.

There are polls that gave 50% and other polls that gave 40%, and error margins are often 3-5%. The polls are all around the target.


Beware these percents are only of valid votes (excluding spoiled and blanks), while the numbers from the site are relative to all votes.

(this information is a given for Brazilians, but people who don't speak Portuguese may miss the context)


> conspiracy theorists Heh, when was the last time they had credibility
