Bolsonaro, Lula statistically tied in simulated Brazil runoff, Atlas/Bloomberg poll shows

Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva are statistically tied in a simulated runoff ahead of next month's election. An AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll released Thursday shows the right-wing lawmaker holding a narrow numerical edge over the leftist incumbent. The shift follows a Supreme Court crisis that has weighed on Lula and aided Bolsonaro's surge. Lula is currently campaigning for a fourth presidency, recently holding a rally at Moca Bonita Stadium in Rio de Janeiro to maintain support amidst a conservative political climate.
