Brazilians vote in presidential runoff between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro
Brazilians are voting in a presidential runoff between incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, after neither won a majority in the first round earlier this month.[8, 15, 17 +1] Flávio Bolsonaro, a right-wing senator and son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, won the first-round vote, a surprise result after he had not led most polls.[2, 13, 14]
Final runoff surveys show the two candidates in a statistical dead heat, and Newsweek noted Brazil's pollsters missed Bolsonaro's first-round lead.[13] The Washington Examiner reported Bolsonaro, who has President Donald Trump's support, is the slight favorite heading into the runoff; the International Business Times also called him the narrow favorite.[12, 14, 17]
