French Politics: Poll Update

The latest Opinion Way poll, as of Friday 10th March 2017 (today), shows support for Le Pen is stable at 26%.  Macron is up one point 26%.  Fillon is down to 20%.

It’s the first time this poll has shown Macron and Le Pen so close.

Socialist candidate Benoit Hamon is down one point to 14%.

Far left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon (who Hamon tried to pinch to fight on his side) is up one point at 11%.

Polls continue to show that both Macron and Fillon would defeat Le Pen in the second round.

In the Macron -v- Le Pen scenario, Macron’s lead is up one point in the second round (65% vs. 35%).  In the Fillon -v- Le Pen scenario, Fillon stands to win against Le Pen (60% vs. 40%).

Le Pen continues to lose momentum if facing Macron in the second round.

Woo hoo!  All very exciting. Watch this space …
