Requião Filho and Sandro Alex are next, tied at 20% each. Further behind are Luiz França, Tayná Miessa and Alexandre Salomão with 1% apiece, while Adriano Funileiro and Samuel Mattos did not score support.

According to figures published by O Globo and Folha de S.Paulo, 12% of respondents said they were undecided and 9% said they would cast a blank or null vote or would not vote.

Compared with Quaest’s previous poll, cited by both outlets, Moro moved from 37% to 36%, Requião Filho from 21% to 20%, and Sandro Alex from 15% to 20%.

O Globo also reported that 64% of those surveyed said their choice is final, while 36% said they could still change their vote before the October 4 election.

The survey, commissioned by RPC, interviewed 804 voters aged 16 or older between September 20 and 23. The margin of error is 3 percentage points and the confidence level is 95%.

According to O Globo, Adriano Funileiro of the PCO had his candidacy denied by the Regional Electoral Court of Paraná, but he remains in the race while an appeal is pending.

Folha de S.Paulo added that the poll also tested runoff scenarios and measured the state government’s approval. According to that outlet, Ratinho Junior’s administration has 79% approval and 12% disapproval.
