Pesquisa Datafolha divulgada neste sábado (3), véspera da eleição, aponta que a composição do Senado em São Paulo continua indefinida, com quatro candidatos em empate técnico —mesmo resultado dos últimos três levantamentos do instituto.

Considerando os votos válidos, Guilherme Derrite (PP) e André do Prado (PL) são os candidatos que aparecem numericamente à frente, com 22% das intenções de voto, cada um. Marina Silva (Rede) tem 21%, e Simone Tebet (PSB), 20%. A margem de erro é de dois pontos percentuais.

Marina e Simone são da chapa de Fernando Haddad (PT) e apoiam a reeleição do presidente Lula (PT). André do Prado e Derrite concorrem na chapa de Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) e defendem a eleição de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL).

No levantamento anterior, publicado na última quinta-feira (1º) e que considerava os votos totais, Marina marcou 16%, Simone e André tiveram 15% cada, e Derrite, 14%.

O Datafolha entrevistou 2.520 pessoas em 2 e 3 de outubro para a pesquisa divulgada neste sábado. O nível de confiança é de 95%. O levantamento foi registrado no TSE sob os números SP-09337/2026 e BR-07025/2026.

Em um patamar mais baixo, considerando também os votos válidos, aparecem Geraldo Rufino (Pode), com 3%, Ricardo Salles (Novo), Soninha Francine (Cidadania), Guto Schiavetto (Missão), Marcio Alves (UP), Maíra de Souza (UP) e Dra. Eliana Ferreira (PSTU), com 2% cada, e William Teixeira (Agir), com 1%. Os nomes de Petter Maahs (PCB), Weller Gonçalves (PSTU) e Ednelson Cesaretti (PCO) não atingiram 1%.

Salles anunciou na última segunda-feira (28) que desistiu da candidatura. Contudo, segundo o Datafolha, o anúncio foi feito após o registro da pesquisa no TSE. Por isso, seu nome foi mantido.

Na pesquisa espontânea, aquela em que o entrevistado é questionado sobre quem são seus candidatos sem a apresentação de uma lista, o percentual de eleitores indecisos caiu neste levantamento.

Na pesquisa Datafolha divulgada na última quinta, 53% dos entrevistados responderam que ainda não haviam se decidido. O percentual de indecisos, agora, foi para 47%.

Na espontânea, que também tem cenário de empate técnico, Derrite aparece numericamente à frente, com 10% das intenções de voto. Marina e Simone têm 9% cada; e André do Prado, 7%.

Elections in Brazil marked by dismay and Banco Master scandal involving authorities

In the Brazilian elections on October 4, the atmosphere is one of discouragement and uncertainty due to the repetition of presidential options between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro and the Banco Master scandal, which involved R$60 billion in a pyramid scheme and affected authorities such as Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the STF, whose wife received R$131 million from banker Daniel Vorcaro, generating a loss of trust in institutions and calls for reform of the Judiciary and the Budget.

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.
