Lula Leads Brazil Election Polls

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is surging in the polls, leading all potential right-wing challengers for the 2026 election. His approval ratings have risen, and hes openly seeking a fourth non-consecutive term. Notably, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who lost to Lula in 2022, is barred from running due to a prison sentence for plotting a coup. Lula would defeat his rivals in a runoff scenario, including São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, who is widely considered the likely Bolsonaro-backed candidate. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
