Poll puts Mailza Assis ahead of Alan Rick in Acre runoff

A Quaest poll puts Acre Governor Mailza Assis ahead of Senator Alan Rick in their second-round election contest in the Brazilian state of Acre.

Assis has 62% of valid votes in the survey, against 38% for Rick.

The poll questioned 2,154 people aged 16 or older on October 23 and 24, with a margin of error of two percentage points.

In the first round on October 4, Assis won 49.76% of valid votes and Rick 32.27%.

Assis became governor in April after her predecessor, Gladson Cameli, resigned to run for the Senate.

Rick is a senator and represents an opposition group, while both candidates back Flávio Bolsonaro for president.

The poll shows Assis leading as the runoff campaign continues, though 11% of respondents were undecided and 8% said they would cast a blank or invalid ballot or not vote.
