RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- Poll results showed on Thursday that Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva could get 63.2 percent of the vote in the Oct. 29 presidential race, while former Sao Paulo state Governor Geraldo Alckmin could win 36.8 percent.
The results, released by CNT/Sensus, brought Lula's lead to 26.4 percent, while another survey released on Tuesday put his lead at 22 percent.
"I believe that is a defined election. Differences are widening. I believe that Lula's lead can be explained by people's perception that their lives have improved, if compared to the previous government," said the poll's coordinator Ricardo Guedes.
Of the poor voters interviewed, those with monthly incomes around 350 reals (about 164 U.S. dollars), 69.7 percent said they would vote for Lula's re-election, while 22.6 percent chose Alckmin.
Among the wealthier ones, with incomes over 7,000 reals (about 3,286 dollars) per month, 55.7 percent said they support Alckmin from the Brazilian Social Democracy Party, while 31.4 percent were for Workers Party candidate Lula.
Thursday's results were based on a study carried out on Oct. 23-25, during which researchers interviewed 2,000 people in 195 Brazilian towns.

Vote counting is delayed in Sao Paulo, Brazil's most populous state, where polls indicated that Alckmin led the presidential race. That means it is still unclear whether Lula will be re-elected in the first round.
Lula has to win more than 50 percent of the votes to win outright on Sunday and avoid going into a runoff on Oct. 31. Full story>>
