New Polls Tighten Brasília Governor Race, Confirm Paes as Rio Frontrunner

An STJ ruling keeps José Roberto Arruda ineligible, with Ibaneis Rocha’s strong approval underpinning his standing in the DF Senate tests.

Overview

  • Paraná Pesquisas shows a technical tie for DF governor, with Celina Leão at 32.2% and José Roberto Arruda at 29.8% within a 2.6-point margin of error.
  • The DF Senate trial heats list Michelle Bolsonaro near 34% and Ibaneis Rocha near 30% as the most cited in two-vacancy scenarios, while spontaneous responses show high indecision.
  • Ibaneis’ administration records 61% approval in the DF, with 35.9% disapproval, based on 1,506 interviews conducted Oct. 23–27.
  • Runoff simulations keep Celina and Arruda essentially even head-to-head, while both defeat Leandro Grass by wide margins.
  • An Instituto Gerp survey in Rio de Janeiro finds Mayor Eduardo Paes leading all tested gubernatorial scenarios, with Flávio Bolsonaro and Benedita da Silva most mentioned for the Senate.
