SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s lead over incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro slipped three percentage points ahead of the country’s election, a survey by pollster Datafolha showed on Thursday.
Lula drew 47% voter support in the poll against Bolsonaro’s 32%, compared with 47% and 29%, respectively, in July.
