In the lead-up to Brazil's October presidential election, a new poll reveals Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's steady lead over opposition candidate Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.

Lula, a former president, is shown to potentially outpace the senator, son of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, by a margin of 48% to 43% in a possible runoff scenario.

This Datafolha poll echoes the findings of a June survey where Lula was similarly ahead by 47% to 43%, suggesting a consistent advantage for the president.
