Poll suggests Marine Le Pen could lead first round of France’s presidential election
A France 24 report says a survey of more than 13,000 voters places the veteran far-right candidate ahead as campaigning begins.
Marine Le Pen could lead the first round of France’s presidential election next year, according to a poll reported by France 24 as the campaign begins.
The survey gathered responses from more than 13,000 voters and points to Le Pen’s current support among an electorate described as increasingly disillusioned and seeking political change.
The finding indicates a possible first-round lead, but does not establish the outcome of the election. No exact election date was provided.
France 24 did not identify the pollster, fieldwork dates, methodology, margin of error or support levels for other candidates in the material available.
