Voter profile: current week distribution Political Analysis
The 18th round of XP Presidential Poll shows that Fernando Haddad (PT) rose 6 points since last week,
from 10% to 16%, and is now the vice-leader, five points ahead of Ciro Gomes (PDT). Jair Bolsonaro has
increased his performance since the beginning of September and now leads with 28% of voters intension,
two points above last week.
Haddad’s rejection increased for the fifth consecutive week, reaching 60%, while Bolsonaro’s rejection
remains unchanged at 57%. The front-runners are said to be the worst possible presidents for Brazil –
32% say Haddad would be the worst one and 30% say Bolsonaro.
In second round scenarios, Bolsonaro increased marginally his advantage over Haddad from 40% x 38%
to 41% x 38%. Bolsonaro improved his performance against Geraldo Alckmin (they are tied, 39% to 39%)
and against Marina Silva (he leads, 40% x 35%). He still loses to Ciro Gomes, 40% to 35%.
For the first time, there’s no meaningful difference in results when the voters are informed that Haddad is
“supported by Lula” – the PT candidate receives only one extra p.p.
Strategic vote: Voters were asked for the first time if they would change their vote in first round in order to
avoid a second round with a candidate they dislike: 37% said “yes” and 57% said “no”. The voters more
likely to change the decision are those who support Alvaro Dias, Marina Silva and Ciro Gomes – more
than a half said they would change.
Among the voters of the four right-wing candidates (Geraldo Alckmin, Alvaro Dias, Henrique Meirelles,
and João Amoedo), 47% said they would cast a strategic vote to avoid a candidate they dislike in the
second round.
