Lula Regains Narrow Edge Over Bolsonaro in Brazil Runoff Polls

According to the Straits Times, Lula has regained a narrow edge over Bolsonaro in the BTG/Nexus poll, with the former president leading by 2 percentage points. The poll, conducted on September 14, 2026, reflects a slight but significant shift in voter support. Reuters, however, reported that Lula and Bolsonaro are neck-and-neck in the runoff polls, with no clear leader emerging. The divergence in reporting highlights the volatility of the race as both candidates prepare for the final showdown. The results will be closely watched by political analysts and voters alike as the October 26 election nears.
