Lula’s Lead Over Bolsonaro Narrows in Brazil

“President Jair Bolsonaro narrowed the gap with former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Brazil’s presidential race as the economic outlook brightens and the government boosts cash handouts to the poor,” Bloomberg reports.

“Lula would win 43% in the first-round of the October vote, down from 48% in the previous tally taken in December… Bolsonaro would get 26%, up from 22% previously.”
