Datafolha will publish a new poll on Thursday (22) regarding voting intentions for the second round of the 2026 presidential election, featuring Lula (PT) and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). The results will be discussed during a live broadcast starting at 7 PM.

In recent days, various surveys have shown a tight race between the candidates, with a narrow margin in the numbers. Polls from UOL, which include data from institutions such as PoderData and AtlasIntel/Bloomberg, indicate that the valid and total votes between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro have remained close.

Today (19), new figures have been released that update the electoral race, illustrating how Flávio Bolsonaro positions himself in the second round. This update is significant for understanding the dynamics of the campaign as the election approaches.

Additionally, sources indicate that surveys released this week reflect a constant movement in voter support, highlighting a growing rivalry between the candidates. The significant number of undecided voters has also been a focal point in the analyses, making the upcoming weeks crucial for both sides.

The Municipal Mobility Authority (AMMPLA) has also announced traffic changes in Petrolina due to a political event scheduled for tomorrow (20). Among the restrictions is a full closure of the Presidente Dutra Bridge, affecting the connection between Petrolina and Juazeiro (BA). This closure and other roadblocks in the city center aim to ensure safety and mobility during the event.

In summary, the release of the Datafolha poll and reports from other institutions reflect an important moment for the 2026 election as the electorate prepares for the decision in the second round. The scenario continues to evolve, making ongoing monitoring essential.
