A crisis within Brazil's Supreme Court is having an adverse impact on the country's left-wing leader and current president Luis Inácio Lula da Silva's re-election campaign. A recent poll shows that Flavio Bosonaro's approval rating has risen sharply, drawing a tie with Lula, erasing the previous 4.5 percentage point gap. According to the results of an AtlasIntel poll for Bloomberg News released on Thursday, if the October presidential election enters the second round of voting, Bosonaro and Lula will each receive about 46% of the vote. In the last survey published at the end of August, Lula led 47.1% to 42.6%.
