Datafolha Ceará poll to gauge 'Cironaro' effect on 2026 governor race

A new Datafolha survey in Ceará will measure voting intentions for governor, Senate, and presidency ahead of 2026 elections, including a simulated runoff and eight candidates. The poll follows an Electoral Justice ruling that cut 47 minutes of radio/TV propaganda from Governor Elmano's campaign, potentially affecting dynamics. The 'Cironaro' effect—referring to Ciro Gomes' alignment with Bolsonaro—may shift voter preferences, but results are pending.
