Brazil right leads runoff polls in 4 of 6 states; left leads 1, tie in RN

In Brazil's 2026 gubernatorial elections, the right leads in four of six states heading into the second round, with the left ahead in one and a technical tie in Rio Grande do Norte. This continues the right's strong first-round performance, where it won 13 governorships outright, suggesting a likely rightward shift in state-level control.
