The statistic shows the results of a survey carried out to measure the voting intention for selected presidential candidates in Brazil in June and August 2018. Respondents were presented with two sets of candidates reflecting different potential election situations: one including the former president Lula da Silva, and another excluding his candidacy. In case Lula did not run for president, Jair Bolsonaro led the voting intention with 22 percent as of August 2018, followed by Marina Silva with 16 percent. All figures were retrieved from the hypothetical situation in which the former Brazilian president would not run for president.
