Marine Le Pen leads in French presidential election polling
Marine Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National, holds a commanding lead in recent polling for the 2027 French presidential election. According to surveys conducted by Elabe for Bfmtv and La Tribune, Le Pen is projected to receive between 34% and 35.5% of the vote in a first-round scenario.
In the second round, simulations indicate Le Pen would defeat any of her potential opponents. She is projected to win with 52.5% against Édouard Philippe, 57% against Gabriel Attal, and 69.5% against Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Other candidates trailing in the first round include Philippe at 17%, Mélenchon at 14%, and Raphaël Glucksmann at 11.5%.
This political resurgence follows a legal development in which an appeals court eased a previous ban on Le Pen's candidacy, which had stemmed from a conviction regarding the misuse of European Parliament funds. The polling suggests a significant shift in the French political landscape, potentially challenging the centrist influence of President Emmanuel Macron.
