Brazil's Lula ahead in exit poll with 49 pct


Sunday October 6, 5:40 PM EDT

SAO PAULO, Brazil, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Former metalworker Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was ahead in the race to win Brazil's presidency on Sunday, according to an exit poll, but still shy of the majority he needs to avoid a runoff vote.

Lula, a veteran leftist and ex-union leader running on the Workers' Party ticket, had 49 percent of the vote, according to an exit poll by the Ibope institute commissioned by the Globo television network. Lula needs 50 percent plus one vote to win the election outright and avoid a runoff against the second-placed contender on Oct. 27.

Jose Serra, the candidate backed by outgoing President Fernando Henrique Cardoso's centrist coalition, had 20 percent versus 17 percent for Anthony Garotinho, the former governor of Rio de Janeiro state. The poll of 54,100 people had a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.
