Marine Le Pen leads 2027 French presidential polls

2027 French presidential election Marine Le Pen Rassemblement National Edouard Philippe French politics

As the 2027 French presidential election approaches, Marine Le Pen of the Rassemblement National (RN) has emerged as the frontrunner in recent opinion polls, securing between 34% and 36% of first-round voting intentions. Her eligibility to run was confirmed after an appeals court reduced her sentence in an EU funds embezzlement case, though she continues to challenge the ruling.

Within the RN, Jordan Bardella has reaffirmed his unwavering political and personal support for Le Pen, despite reported strategic tensions and ideological differences regarding economic policy and social issues like the Islamic veil.

In the centrist bloc, Edouard Philippe is currently positioned as the strongest candidate to reach the second round. Meanwhile, political figures such as Benjamin Haddad have expressed confidence that voters will ultimately reject extremism, while others, like Louis Aliot, have suggested that an RN victory could lead to a reduction in military and financial aid to Ukraine.
