French extreme candidates steam ahead in 2027 presidential race, poll shows
Le Pen would win 33% to 36% in first-round scenarios, while Mélenchon reaches a runoff in at least three of five tests, pollster Toluna Harris Interactive said.
- On Monday, a poll from Toluna Harris Interactive showed French far-right leader Marine Le Pen maintaining a clear lead ahead of the presidential election, garnering between 33% and 36% of first-round votes.
- As President Emmanuel Macron's final term concludes, the survey reflects growing electorate polarization, with the political center hollowed out and creating space for hardline parties like the National Rally and France Unbowed.
- Far-Left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon reached the second round in at least three of five scenarios tested between September 8 and September 10, marking significant progress for the LFI party leader.
- Former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe stands as the only center-right candidate ahead of Melenchon in one scenario tested, with a tie in another, positioning him as a potential challenger.
- Both leading candidates carry significant electoral history: Melenchon ran in 2012, 2017, and 2022 without reaching a run-off, while Le Pen advanced to the final round in 2017 and 2022 before losing to Macron.
