(Paris) The polemicist and undeclared presidential candidate Eric Zemmour is down in a new poll, behind Marine Le Pen, who is widening the gap with him, while Emmanuel Macron is still in the lead.
Eric Zemmour is credited with 12% of voting intentions (-1 point) regardless of the Republican candidate, and is even ahead of one point by Xavier Bertrand, according to OpinionWay’s PrésiTrack poll for Les Échos, CNews and Classic Radio, released Thursday.
Marine Le Pen is credited with 19 to 21% (+ 1%) and Emmanuel Macron from 24 to 25% in the first round of the presidential election.
Among the Republicans, Xavier Bertrand gets 13%, Valérie Pécresse 11% and Michel Barnier 9%, while on the left Jean-Luc Mélenchon is at 9%, Yannick Jadot at 8% and Anne Hidalgo at 5/6%.
Macron president bis with 56% of the vote
In the second round, Emmanuel Macron would win with 56% (-2) against 44% (+2) for Marine Le Pen.
Only 6% of those questioned believe that Eric Zemmour, who has not declared his candidacy, will be elected president on April 24 against 14% for the president of the National Rally (RN) and 43% for the outgoing president.
At this point, 48% of respondents say they are interested in the campaign while 50% are not yet. The challenges of the presidential election are purchasing power for 52% of them (-2 points), social protection (50%, +2), then security (44%, +3).
Voting intentions do not constitute a forecast of the outcome of the ballot. They give an indication of the balance of power and dynamics on the day of the survey.
Survey conducted from November 15 to 17 online, with a sample of 1,454 people registered on electoral lists, from a sample of 1,521 people representative of the French population aged 18 and over. Margin of error between 1.1 and 2.6 points.
