Na véspera das eleições, a deputada federal Benedita da Silva (PT) se mantém na liderança na disputa para uma cadeira no Senado pelo Rio de Janeiro, de acordo com pesquisa divulgada neste sábado (3) pelo Datafolha.

A petista, ex-senadora, registra 26% das intenções de votos válidos. Dois candidatos aparecem em empate técnico pela segunda vaga em disputa este ano.

O deputado federal Carlos Jordy (PL) aparece com 19% das intenções de votos válidos, em empate técnico com o senador Carlos Portinho (PL), com 18%.

O deputado federal Pedro Paulo (PSD) tem 13%. A vereadora Mônica Benício (PSOL) registra 9% das intenções de votos válidos. O deputado federal Marcelo Crivella (Republicanos) tem 6%.

O cálculo das intenções de votos válidos desconsidera os entrevistados que declararam voto nulo, branco ou estar indeciso. O procedimento é comparável ao utilizado pela Justiça Eleitoral para contabilizar e divulgar o resultado oficial da eleição.

Contratada pela Folha e pela TV Globo, a pesquisa do Datafolha, registrada no TSE sob o número RJ- 01334/2026, ouviu 2.010 eleitores de sexta-feira (2) a este sábado. A margem de erro é de dois pontos percentuais para mais ou para menos.

Esta é a quinta pesquisa do Datafolha sobre o cenário eleitoral do Rio de Janeiro, com cenários semelhantes.

O ex-prefeito de Belford Roxo Waguinho (Republicanos) foi citado por 3% dos entrevistados que escolheram um candidato. Marcos Dias (Podemos) aparece com 2%.

Aparecem com 1% das intenções de votos válidos Helio Secco (Missão), Paula Falcão (PSTU), o ex-procurador-geral de Justiça Luciano Mattos (PRTB) e Michelly Xavier (UP). Não pontuaram Vinicius Benevides (UP), Luiz Eugênio (PCO) e Ó Clemente (Democrata).

Entre todos os entrevistados, 15% afirmaram ainda estar indecisos e 14% declararam que vão invalidar o voto (nulo ou branco).

Open Questions

  • Qual será o impacto da margem de erro de dois pontos percentuais no resultado final?
  • Como os indecisos (15%) e os que pretendem anular o voto (14%) podem influenciar o resultado?
  • Haverá novas pesquisas antes da eleição para confirmar essa tendência?

Lisbon is the largest Brazilian electoral college abroad with 78,833 voters

The University of Lisbon will receive 78,833 Brazilian voters on Sunday (4), making it the largest voting location outside Brazil. The number exceeds that of Boston, second place, by 25 thousand, and reflects the 74% increase in registered voters in Lisbon since 2022. Ambassador Alessandro Candeas explains that the community in Portugal remains more connected to Brazil, while the consulates in New York, Boston and Miami, although larger in terms of population served, have lower electoral engagement. Voting will take place in three university buildings using QR Codes and support staff to avoid queues like in 2022, when waiting times reached five hours. Militants of Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro adopt different strategies, with PT members organizing demonstrations in Rossio and Bolsonaro supporters acting through videos and online events. The consulate estimates that between 700,000 and 1 million Brazilians live in Portugal, far beyond the 574,195 registered by INE.

Flávio Bolsonaro ends his first round campaign in a motorcade in Rio with religious and political tensions

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro ended the campaign for the first round of the presidential elections with a motorcade in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro, ending at Praça da Fé in Bangu, where the Catholic church closed its doors due to the noise of the political event with jingles and fireworks. The senator did not speak to the press and was accompanied by allies such as Douglas Ruas, PL candidate for governor of Rio. During the 13 km route between Campo Grande and Bangu, there were verbal confrontations with supporters of the PT candidate Adilson Pires, who called Flávio a 'thief', while Bolsonaro supporters responded to the provocations without physical aggression. Ruas said he hoped to win the state dispute against Eduardo Paes and criticized Lula, calling him an 'expired product', after the TSE annulled Anthony Garotinho's votes.
