A poll released early in 2026 shows President Lula leading in electoral scenarios, with Tarcísio de Freitas as the only opponent tying in the second round. The survey highlights the persistence of polarization between Lula and bolsonarismo, with no clear space for a third way. Analysts note that the election will be decided by rejections, amid challenges like incumbent fatigue and effects of judicial convictions.
An AtlasIntel analysis shows President Lula holding a solid voter base but struggling to exceed 50% in a potential 2026 second-round matchup. Director Yuri Sanches points to antipetismo's influence and the right's need to unify to prevent a first-round PT victory. Advances by figures like Flávio Bolsonaro indicate the normalization of bolsonarismo in polls.
