The results of the two polls are very consistent with each other and show that, at the moment, the comparison narrows to Lula and Bolsonaro.

The advantage of former President Lula over Bolsonaro, in a hypothetical second round, is 20%. An important difference, but remember that there are still 6 months and a few days to go before the date of the first election (October 2, 2022).
