Lula's lead over Bolsonaro narrows ahead of Brazil election, poll shows - Reuters

- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva continues to lead Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, although the right-wing challenger has narrowed the gap with the leftist incumbent ahead of October's election, a Quaest poll showed on Friday.

In a simulated second-round runoff, Lula would receive 43% support compared with 40% for Bolsonaro. An August 5 Quaest poll had Lula leading Bolsonaro by 44% to 39%.
