Brazil 2026: Lula leads in 12 states, Flávio in 12; race tightens

A Poder360 poll shows President Lula ahead in 12 states (53.19M voters) and Flávio Bolsonaro leading in 12 others (66.90M voters), indicating a competitive electoral map. The poll is a snapshot, not a forecast, and state-level margins are not detailed. This matters as it signals a polarized electorate and potential swing states that could decide the 2026 Brazilian presidential election.
