Rio Grande do Norte projected to give Lula over 60% in runoff vote

Rio Grande do Norte, the last northeastern state with a runoff election this Sunday, is projected to give President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva over 60% of valid votes, according to an AtlasIntel poll released Saturday. The survey, which heard 1,780 voters between October 18 and 23, shows Lula with 63% of valid voting intentions against 37% for Flávio Bolsonaro. This suggests potential growth for Lula, who received 59.75% in the first round. The poll has a two-point margin of error and 95% confidence level. It also shows 61% approval of Lula's government in the state, with 52% rating it as excellent or good.
