Brazil Presidential Polls

Brazil's veteran leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was elected president Sunday by a hair's breadth, beating his far-right rival in a down-to-the-wire poll that split the country in two, election officials said.

Brazilians began a tense wait Sunday for the results of their down-to-the-wire presidential runoff election, after voting closed in the divisive showdown between far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro and veteran leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Brazil entered the final stretch of a deeply polarized presidential race Monday after an inconclusive first voting round put far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in an unexpectedly strong position.

Brazil's bitterly divisive presidential election is headed for a runoff on October 30 as incumbent Jair Bolsonaro beat first-round expectations to finish a closer-than-expected second to front-runner Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva currently leads the country's 2018 presidential race despite facing corruption charges, but would lose the runoff, a poll found Monday.

US President Barack Obama congratulated his Brazilian counterpart Dilma Rousseff on her re-election Monday, the day after the left-wing incumbent won a narrow victory in a presidential run-off vote.

President Dilma Rousseff has gained 1 percentage point on her rival Aecio Neves ahead of an Oct. 26 runoff to Brazil's presidential election, a new poll showed on Wednesday.

President Dilma Rousseff has gained support among Brazilian voters and is almost even with opposition candidate Marina Silva, suggesting the runoff that should decide next month's presidential election is too close to call, according to a new poll on Friday.

The race for Brazil's October presidential election has tightened, according to a poll released on Saturday that also showed high disapproval for President Dilma Rousseff and widespread dissatisfaction with the stagnant economy.
