Brazilian presidential candidate Augusto Cury reaches 10% in polls

Augusto Cury, a first-time candidate for the Avante party, has reached 10% of voting intentions in a PoderData/Aya poll. This marks a notable rise for a fringe candidate, potentially reshaping the electoral landscape ahead of the 2026 Brazilian presidential election. The durability of this support is uncertain, as it may reflect name recognition rather than committed voter base.
