巴西大选决选前夕民调胶着 卢拉奋力打破首轮领先者必胜惯例Lula Fights Historic Runoff Precedent as Brazil Presidential Polls Tighten

在10月5日结束的第一轮计票中，右翼参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗与现任总统卢拉之间的票数差距不到2个百分点，创下巴西现代选举历史上前两名之间的最窄首轮纪录。然而，自1989年恢复总统直选以来，所有在首轮投票中夺得第一的候选人最终都成功赢得总统大选。面对这一此前未曾被打破的先例，卢拉在决选阶段承担着艰巨的追赶任务。

The first-round vote on October 5 concluded with right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro leading incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by less than two percentage points, establishing the narrowest gap ever recorded between first and second place in Brazil's modern presidential contests. Nevertheless, Brazilian electoral history presents a formidable hurdle for the incumbent: since direct presidential elections were restored in 1989, every single candidate who finished first in the opening round has gone on to win the presidency in the subsequent runoff.

首轮投票后，博索纳罗阵营凭借在国会及地方选举中的全面斩获成为外界眼中的明显热门。但米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学政治学者马诺埃尔·莱昂纳多·桑托斯指出，经过三周的竞选角逐，双方民调已基本持平，博索纳罗目前仅维持不足一个百分点的微弱优势。学者同时分析认为，由于全国弃投率升至创纪录的21%，且弃投现象主要集中在历来倾向于卢拉的低收入、低教育水平和老年群体中，投票率的高低将直接左右决选胜负。

Although Bolsonaro's first-round performance and his party's sweeping victories in congressional and state legislative races initially cemented his position as the favorite among political analysts, that momentum has faced friction. Over the subsequent three weeks of campaigning, polling numbers tightened into an effective tie, with Bolsonaro retaining a fractional advantage of less than a percentage point. Political scientist Manoel Leonardo Santos of the Federal University of Minas Gerais observed that Lula's campaign performed markedly better during the runoff phase, though analysts note the final outcome hinges heavily on voter turnout following a record 21% abstention rate that disproportionately affected groups traditionally leaning toward Lula, including lower-income, less-educated, and older voters.

在传统工业重镇奥萨斯库，当地工厂相继关闭，取而代之的是购物商场以及外卖配送技术企业，使这座城市逐步演变为圣保罗的“硅谷”。奥萨斯库在2022年大选中曾投票支持卢拉，但在10月的首轮投票中转向了弗拉维奥·博索纳罗。当地金属工人工会领袖吉尔伯托·阿尔马赞指出，强烈的去工业化使金属、化工和纺织厂相继消失，工人阶层的面貌从工业蓝领演变为服务业群体，工会运动未能跟上这种变化。数百万进入网约车、外卖送餐或经营摊位等零工经济的从业者，对工作自由度和灵活时间的需求超过了工会倡导的集体行动与福利保障。

In the sprawling former industrial hub of Osasco, closed manufacturing plants have given way to shopping centers and delivery application tech firms in what has become dubbed São Paulo's 'Silicon Valley.' After backing Lula in 2022, the municipality flipped to Flávio Bolsonaro in the first round on October 5. Gilberto Almazan, leader of a local metalworkers' union, observed that metal, chemical, and textile factories vanished as the region underwent deindustrialization, transforming a workforce once dominated by industrial laborers into service workers. Across Brazil, millions now earn a living in the gig economy through ride-hailing apps, food delivery, or market stalls, prioritizing flexible working hours over the collective bargaining and traditional social welfare promoted by Lula's movement.

传记作家理查德·拉珀指出，巴西因工业化较晚且去工业化较早，所受冲击尤为强烈，导致卢拉在一定程度上成为“自身成功的受害者”。尽管巴西在卢拉本届任期内失业率降至历史低点并脱离了联合国饥饿地图，但居民面临着物价上涨、高额家庭债务和高利率环境，形成了强烈的预期落差。许多选民抱怨沉重的税收负担与通胀压力，博索纳罗阵营提出的削减政府支出与部分税收的主张，促使部分此前支持卢拉或选择弃权的底层劳动者倒向右翼。

Biographer Richard Lapper noted that because Brazil experienced late industrialization followed by early deindustrialization, these socioeconomic shifts have been particularly acute, leaving Lula a 'victim of his own success.' Although Brazil's unemployment rate dropped to record lows and the country exited the United Nations Hunger Map during his current term, households face mounting pressure from higher prices, heavy debt loads, and high interest rates. Voters expressing frustration with inflation and what they describe as heavy tax burdens have responded to Bolsonaro's proposals to cut government spending and select taxes, prompting former Lula supporters and previous non-voters to switch their allegiance.

弗拉维奥·博索纳罗代表正在因涉嫌政变服27年刑期、处于居家监禁的父亲雅伊尔·博索纳罗参选，并在首轮获得了比其父2022年竞选时多出500万张选票。弗拉维奥表示，若当选将赦免其父并由其父为自己佩戴总统绶带。除了总统层面的得票增长，其所在政党还在国会、州长及各州立法机构选举中全面获胜。他的政策主张包括削减政府开支、精简政府部门以及降低部分税负，同时承诺保留卢拉任内设立的部分核心社会福利项目。

Flávio Bolsonaro entered the presidential race representing his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence under house arrest following a failed coup attempt. The younger Bolsonaro secured five million more votes in the first round than his father received in 2022, and he has pledged that if elected, he will pardon the elder Bolsonaro and receive the presidential sash directly from him. Alongside Flávio's individual vote count, his party achieved sweeping victories in congressional races, governorships, and state legislatures. His platform advocates cutting government spending, reducing government ministries, and trimming selective taxes, while retaining several flagship social welfare initiatives.

但在决选竞选阶段，博索纳罗阵营的扩张势头遭遇了多重阻力。分析人士指出，民调差距收窄在相当程度上源于博索纳罗自身支持率的流失及其拒选率的上升。在首场总统辩论中，博索纳罗被外界认为表现过于激进。随后，他发表言论称将利用新一届高度保守的国会“修改宪法并让这个国家重新民主化”，这一表态引发了中间摇摆选民的普遍担忧，直接导致部分在首轮支持其他右翼候选人的选民在决选中转投卢拉。

Despite these advantages, the Bolsonaro campaign's momentum has encountered resistance heading into the runoff vote. Analysts indicate that much of the narrowing margin in polling reflects Bolsonaro losing ground as his rejection rate climbed while Lula's saw a slight decrease. Observers pointed to what was viewed as an aggressive performance during the opening presidential debate, alongside a controversial speech in which the senator declared intentions to leverage the conservative congress to 'change the constitution and re-democratise this country.' That rhetoric alarmed undecided voters, prompting some who backed rival right-wing figures in the initial round to switch toward the incumbent.

在拥有巴西第二大选民群体的米纳斯吉拉斯州，全国弃投率最高的十座城市中有八座位于该州境内，而历史上没有任何一位总统候选人能在未赢下该州的情况下赢得全国大选。米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学学者埃尔西马拉·德索萨·特莱斯指出，如果卢拉的支持者踊跃投票，他有可能获胜，但目前并无确保这一目标的绝对把握。为了动员选民，双方均选择在州府贝洛奥里藏特举行最后的竞选集会，博索纳罗支持者在巨幅投影和充气雕像前动员基层拉票，卢拉阵营则组织了多场青年上街抗议与拉票活动，争取因弃权或宗教等原因转向博索纳罗的选民倒戈。

Minas Gerais, Brazil's second-largest electorate, holds decisive importance because no candidate has ever won the presidency nationally without carrying the state. Eight of the country's ten municipalities with the highest abstention rates are located there, presenting both a vulnerability and an opportunity. Helcimara de Souza Telles, a political scientist at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, remarked that Lula can secure victory if his supporters turn out, though there is no certainty that his campaign can generate sufficient participation. Both camps held final rallies in the state capital of Belo Horizonte, with Bolsonaro allies organizing events around video links to combat complacency, while Lula supporters mobilized young demonstrators to win over non-voters and persuade undecided citizens.

面对选情压力，卢拉竞选团队在年轻政治盟友建议下全面重组了数字传播体系。这位81岁且不使用智能手机的现任总统开始录制自拍短视频，其团队建立了拥有数百万成员的即时通讯频道“卢拉军团”，由议员安德烈·亚诺内斯每天发布推广指南，使卢拉的线上影响力首次反超对手。与此同时，卢拉在选举法允许的限度内推出了多项政策组合，不仅提高了面向贫困家庭的核心现金转移支付金额并提前发放，还推动国会通过了缩短工作周的法案，该项新政策预计将影响多达3000万名劳工。

To counter Bolsonaro's initial advantage, Lula's campaign implemented major changes to its digital communication strategy following recommendations from younger politicians. The 81-year-old president, who does not own a smartphone, began recording selfie video messages. Campaign organizers established a WhatsApp channel named 'Lula's Army' where Congressman André Janones issued daily instructions to fuel pro-Lula viral content, pushing the president's digital reach past Bolsonaro's for the first time. Lula also enacted an extensive package of measures within legal boundaries, advancing and expanding cash-transfer payments to low-income families and securing congressional approval for a shorter working week affecting 30 million workers.
