SAO PAULO, ‌Oct 14 (Reuters) - ​Brazilian ​Senator Flavio Bolsonaro was seen slightly ahead of President ‌Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva heading ⁠into the October 25 presidential runoff, ‌a Quaest poll showed ‌on Wednesday.

The right-wing senator, the eldest son of former President Jair ​Bolsonaro, would receive 46% of the vote compared with 44% ⁠for the leftist Lula, according to the poll.

• ​It is the first Quaest poll after the first-round vote earlier ​this month, in ‌which the younger Bolsonaro surprisingly led Lula

• The poll's ⁠result still represents a technical tie as the poll's margin of error ⁠is plus or minus 2 percentage points

• ​9% of the respondents said they would cast a blank or null vote or ‌intend not to vote, while undecided voters made up ‌1%, the poll showed

• Quaest ⁠surveyed 2,154 people ‌between October ​10-13
