In a second round, Lula would obtain 54% of the vote and Bolsonaro 35%, an advantage of 19 percentage points that the former leftist president already had in March.
FSB director Marcelo Tokarski said that Bolsonaro had gained ground in April after former Justice Minister Sergio Moro back off, but Lula got a boost after Joao Doriathe former governor of the state of Saint PaulI threw in the towel last week.
Frustrations over rising food and fuel prices have also dented support for Bolsonaro.
“The rise in inflation, and especially the expectation among most voters that prices will continue to rise in the next three months, has been an obstacle to Bolsonaro’s re-election plans,” Tokarski said.
The poll showed that the elections are more polarized than ever, as centrist alternatives to Lula and Bolsonaro only get 13% of support of voters, compared to 17% in April and 24% in March.
The rejection rates for both Lula and Bolsonaro remain virtually unchanged, with 43% of voters saying they would never vote for the leader of the Workers’ Party and 59% saying they would never vote for the ultra-conservative leader.
The analysis institute FSB interviewed 2,000 voters by phone between May 27 and 29 in the survey commissioned by the BTG Pactual bank. It has a margin of error of 2 points.
