Yea it won't be easy to get the extra 4 to 5% he needs to get a win, seeing as though all the other candidates are leftist, thus, their voters are unlikely to vote for Bolsonaro. Plus Brazilian celebrities now have 3 weeks to continue the elenao shaming campaign.
Bolsonaro has to stay healthy, if he wants to win. Him being absent for multiple weeks obviously hurt his chances overall and if not for that incident, he would have won already, in my opinion.
There were two other candidates that got the right-wing vote: Amoedo and Daciolo. About 4%
Plus there are other people who didn't want PT or Bolsonaro and voted for some center/left like Alckmin (or Ciro or Meirelles or Dias), but still prefer Bolsonaro over PT. Remember that the political center is arbitrary. Far-left and right are the same distance from center-left for people that have no ideology. Honestly, Haddad only gets votes mainly because poor and uneducated poor are affraid of losing handouts. It's not because they support any political movement really.

I love how words us lot have been using for years like "cultural marxism" are now used by mainstream figures, be it Bannon, this guy, or Trump Jr. In the not too distant future you might have a president or prime minister saying "(((them)))" haha.
Olavo de Carvalho, brazilian right-wing intellectual (the only one?), has talked about Cultural Marxism for decades. By the way, this term originated in academia even before the 90's.
