Bolsonaro receives 40.3% of voting intentions in São Paulo state and Lula da Silva 35.5%

Contrary to all claims, President Jair Bolsonaro (PL, right) is ahead of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT, left) in the country’s most populous São Paulo state, by far the most important in Brazil, as shown by Paraná Pesquisas, August 18-22, 2022.

Among voters in São Paulo, the conservative incumbent president has 40.3% of the vote and leftist challenger Lula da Silva 35.5%. Read here the full report.

Ciro Gomes (PDT) is technically tied with 7.6% and Simone Tebet (MDB) with 3.6%. The other candidates accounted for less than 1% of voting intentions.

The poll involved 1880 voters from August 18-22, 2022. The margin of error is 2.3 percentage points higher or lower at the 95% confidence interval.

If this result is confirmed, the election outcome could suddenly be open again, after the left has already celebrated Lula da Silva’s victory worldwide.

46 million of the 212 million Brazilians live in São Paulo.
