Quaest, 2nd round: Lula leads with 44% and opens up an advantage over Flávio Bolsonaro The new Quaest poll this Wednesday (10) in which President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) leads in the second round with 44% over Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), who has 38%, raised the alarm in the Liberal Party (PL) campaign. The realistic assessment among opposition leaders heard by the blog is that the research shows consolidated wear and tear in relation to two specific episodes: Senator Flávio’s relationship with banker Daniel Vorcaro; and the new tariff proposal from the government of US President Donald Trump after the PL presidential candidate visited the White House. "Internally, these two issues were already worrying due to the potential for a negative agenda. The episodes left Flávio on the defensive. And the research reflects this most difficult moment in the campaign. We have to change the agenda to reverse this situation", acknowledged to the blog a parliamentarian who is at the core of the campaign.

He appears with 29% in the first round against Lula's 39% in one of the scenarios. "This guarantees Flávio in the second round with ease. But the challenge will be to reduce rejection", reinforced another of Flávio Bolsonaro's interlocutors. Another excerpt from the Quaest survey shows that 47% of those interviewed say they agree more with Lula than accuses Flávio Bolsonaro of having asked for a new tariff from the United States against Brazil. Another 35% say they agree more with Flávio, who says he asked American President Donald Trump not to import new tariffs into the country. Those who did not know how to respond or did not want to speak out amounted to 18%. The survey questioned voters about the release of audios and messages involving the senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and the banker; Flávio's visit to Vorcaro's house; and the transfers of R$61 million to the film Dark Horse, about former president Jair Bolsonaro. For 65% of those interviewed, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) was wrong and should have avoided asking Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, for money to finance the film. Even in relation to the classification of the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV) factions as terrorist organizations, the perception is that this classification would have to be made by Brazil and not by the American government. For members of Planalto and the opposition, there is consistency in the numbers.
