(ANSA) — BRAZIL, OCTOBER 6 — The first poll conducted by the Ipec agency ahead of the October 30 runoff gave former Brazilian President Luiz Lula da Silva 51% of the vote versus 43% for President Jair Bolsonaro.
In disseminating these results, Ipec stated that the poll has an error rate of +/- 2% and that all votes, even zero and blank votes, were taken into account.
Brazilian legislation only considers valid votes for the results, without considering null or blank ballots. In this case, for Ipec, Lula (Pt, left) is 55% versus 45% for Bolsonaro (Pl, right).
Compared to the previous poll, the Pt candidate’s votes have increased by seven points and Bolsonaro’s by two compared to the first round.
25 days after the vote, 92% of people polled said they had already decided their vote. At the same time, 50% said they would never vote for Bolsonaro and 40% said they would never vote for Lula.
The Globo Group commissioned this survey from Ipec, one of the institutes criticized for the mistakes made on the eve of the first round.
Last Saturday, the IPEC awarded Lula three points more than the vote and Bolsonaro six points less than the outgoing president actually scored.
