A single survey often reports all adults and registered voters separately, so the same pollster and dates can appear twice; where approve and disapprove add up to less than 100%, the rest were unsure or did not answer.

Bloomberg highlights the presidential showdown between Lula and Bolsonaro in Brazil, along with Trump’s pitch for investments in Ohio.
Bloomberg News Now presents a concise audio roundup of the day’s leading stories, including Brazil’s closely fought presidential race and Trump in Ohio, alongside updated global business news.
Brazil votes Sunday in a closely fought presidential race between leftwing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted of staging a coup. Analysts say the result could determine whether Brazil remains a regional counterweight to Donald Trump or joins a more closely aligned rightwing bloc.

Brazil has opened an investigation into an alleged plan by the Trump administration to fund far-right causes in the country. The probe comes as Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro prepare to face each other in a consequential election that could shape Brazil’s developing economy and future for decades.
Brazil’s attorney general, Jorge Messias, says foreign interference in the country’s institutions and democracy cannot be tolerated after a Guardian report alleged that the Trump administration was seeking to direct funding to a campaign against Brazil’s supreme court. Messias called the report an important alert for sovereignty, and his office has reportedly filed a criminal complaint to investigate possible wrongdoing.
