Datafolha put Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro at 45% each in a hypothetical runoff for Brazil’s October election.
Lula’s support was unchanged from the previous month, while Bolsonaro slipped 1 percentage point, leaving the race statistically even.
Most of the polling was conducted before a news report linked Bolsonaro to banker Daniel Vorcaro, limiting any immediate read-through from that development.
The result points to a tightly contested presidential race heading into the final months before the October vote.
