The survey shows that the current chief executive had his upward trend in polls interrupted. Two weeks ago, PoderData showed 5 point reduction in the distance between the two.
In this round, the two candidates oscillated 1 percentage point up, rising from 40% to 41%, in the case of Lula, and from 35% to 36% of the voting intentions, in the case of Bolsonaro.

second round
The distance between Lula and Bolsonaro in the 2nd round of the 2022 elections also stood at 9 percentage points. In a probable direct confrontation, the PT has 48% of the voting intentions, against 39% of the current head of the Executive.
The PT pre-candidate has already opened a 25-point advantage over Bolsonaro, from August to September 2021. This margin had been falling since the beginning of the year, but the new round shows an interruption of the trend.
The survey was carried out by PoderData, a company of the Poder360 Jornalismo group, with its own resources. Data were collected from April 24 to 26, 2022, through calls to cell phones and landlines. There were 3,000 interviews in 283 municipalities in the 27 units of the Federation. The margin of error is 2 percentage points. The confidence interval is 95%.
