X account @jbsdc believes that the average of multiple Brazilian polls showed Bolsonaro leading by approximately 2 percentage points, but the actual result saw an unexpected reversal, which may, it speculates, strengthen Latin America's resistance to Trump's agenda.
Looks like about a 2-3 point polling error in Brazil (average was about Bolsonaro up about 2 points across multiple polls), though Bolsonaro was never over 50 in any poll for the runoff.
Still, surprising turnabout. Augurs greater resistance to Trump agenda in Latin America as Lula tries to restore the pink tide and pushes back on the nascent alliance between US/Argentina/VZ.

The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The explanation that “X account: Brazilian polls deviated from the result by approximately 2 to 3 percentage points” lacks sufficient basis; the available materials support only a factual summary.
Verify the follow-up conditions for this event: confirmation of the election results and vote-counting status by Brazilian authorities or authoritative media; reviews by major polling organizations of the causes of the error; and official policy statements by the Lula government and relevant regional parties.
