Brazil elections 2022: Lula da Silva has 43% vs. Bolsonaro’s 35% – PoderData poll June 5-7

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The poll conducted by PoderData from June 5 to 7, 2022 indicates a stable presidential succession. Leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva maintained the same 43% voting intention as 15 days ago. Conservative president Jair Bolsonaro came in at 35%, the same result as two weeks earlier. The gap between the two leaders is 8 points.

After João Doria (PSDB) withdrew his candidacy for president, the only representative of the so-called third way is now Senator Simone Tebet (MDB-MS). Over the past 15 days, she has been extensively featured in the media. The effect was zero. In the previous PowerData study, Tebet had 2%. Now it has 1%.
