As the poll has a margin of error of 2.2 points, both rivals are technically tied.
The consultation took into account the valid votes, excluding the blank and null ones, following the same criteria that the electoral justice will apply in the second round on Sunday.
Meanwhile, 48.6% of those interviewed stated that they would never vote for the leftist leader Lula and 48.8% said the same about the extreme rightist.
Other polls also outline a technical tie scenario, although with a slight advantage for Lula da Silva.
The last one carried out by the firm Ipespe, gave them 53% and 47%, respectively, also excluding blank and invalid votes. Another leading pollster, Datafolha, also gave Lula an advantage within the margins of error.
“I hope that (Bolsonaro) has a sensible minute and calls by phone to accept the result of the election,” Lula assured.
Appeal
Given this scenario, the former president of the Workers’ Party (PT) asked for votes on Monday night to avoid Bolsonaro’s re-election during an act at the theater of the Pontifical Catholic University (PUC) in São Paulo.
“This week is the most important. What happens in it is decisive,” said Lula, who described Bolsonaro as an “abnormal” who mistook a 14-year-old Venezuelan girl for a prostitute. “He should have apologized to God for that but we are not going to forgive him,” she said.
“We must be aware that it is now or we will regret it for the rest of our lives. I never imagined this setback after the governments of the Workers’ Party, after the conquest of the 1988 Constitution”, she sentenced.
Emergency?
The feeling that the election is open after months in which Lula managed to take advantage of more than 15 points has generated a sense of urgency in the opposition campaign, which has come together in an alliance that goes from the PT to center right.
Lula da Silva pointed out that “we need to create a government that goes beyond the PT. The next will be a government of the Brazilian people,” she stated at the Catholic University.
At the event, which was attended by centrist and center-right leaders, was the economist Henrique Meirelles of the conservative Union Brazil, who was global president of Bank Boston and during the Lulista governments (2003-2010) he presided over the Central Bank.
Also participating were former presidential candidate Simone Tebet, from the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB, conservative), and Persio Arida, one of
the creators of the Real Plan, the economic program of former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
