Will Lula be reelected in 2026?

Brazilian Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro has edged ahead of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva this week in betting markets for this year's presidential election — 45% to 41% on Kalshi and 40.8% to 40% on Polymarket as of Wednesday.

Brazilian Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro has edged ahead of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva this week in betting markets for this year's presidential election — 45% to 41% on Kalshi and 40.8% to 40% on Polymarket as of Wednesday.

This comes as a Genial/Quaest survey of 2,004 people released on Wednesday found the 44-year-old son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and Lula in a technical tie in a runoff simulation as Flávio holds a two-point lead over the incumbent president — a gap that falls within the poll's two-point margin of error.

Earlier this week, a Datafolha poll conducted among 2,004 voters put the right-wing senator at 46% and Lula at 45% in a potential runoff, marking the first time in its series that has Lula trailed. While the difference is within the survey's two-point margin of error, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/lula-flavio-bolsonaro-in-dead-heat-for-brazil-election">Lula was leading 46% to 43% last month</a>.

A CNT/MDA poll of 2,002 respondents released on Tuesday, however, contrasts with those and other recent surveys showing the two candidates statistically tied in a runoff. With a margin of error of 2.2%, it found that Lula would defeat Flávio Bolsonaro in a hypothetical matchup, 44.9% to 40.2%.

Flávio Bolsonaro has surged in polls and is now the most likely to win the presidential election. Beyond polls and prediction markets, this trend is confirmed as the tyrannical Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes is now taking steps to prevent his candidacy. Moraes controls Brazil's electoral machinery and is determined not to allow the nation to vote Lula out of office.

While this is indeed a tight race, it's a matter of fact that polls show Lula leading the first round with 45% of valid votes and either ahead or in technical ties with Flávio Bolsonaro in runoff scenarios. Moreover, Bolsonaro's rise has faced remarkably little scrutiny as he has avoided unscripted interviews and Lula's digital base has only now begun to push back against him.
