Flávio Bolsonaro holds a commanding position in São Paulo for the October 25 runoff due to his first-round performance there, where he secured roughly 52 percent of valid votes against Lula’s 38 percent amid broader right-wing gains in the state. Local support from Governor Tarcísio de Freitas and alignment with conservative voters in Brazil’s largest electoral college have reinforced this edge, consistent with recent state-specific polling showing the senator ahead by double digits in some surveys. Traders price the outcome accordingly, reflecting the state’s historical right-leaning tilt in recent cycles and limited evidence of late shifts that could alter the balance before voting concludes.
