With less than a hundred days before the election, the French political landscape has never seemed so fractured. French voters are very uncertain about their vote. 30% of them have already changed their mind in the past two months.

With fifteen candidates for a single chair at the Elysee, voters are more undecided than ever. They are 47% not to have made a final choice for the presidential election in April. On the Bordeaux (Gironde) campus, Juliette Oblin, a Master 1 student in law, confides that she has no “choice of heart” or a leader with whom she is “100% in agreement”. “Today, we have the impression that it is quite a minority, the moderate candidates“, abounds Lucas Villemonteix, student in Master 1 of law.

Among right-wing voters, one in two potential voters of Valérie Pécresse is not sure whether to vote for her in the first round, concludes a study conducted by Ipsos. In a neighborhood where Francois Fillon and Emmanuel Macron totaled more than 60% votes in 2017, a retired couple knows that they will not vote for the head of state. “We are waiting for more details on all the economic problems, whether it is Pécresse, whether it is Zemmour or whether it is Le Pen.“, confides the man. On the left, 67% of Yannick’s potential voters Jadot are not sure of their choice. One of these voters, Maxime Bouquet, consultant in digital transformation, is a little lost. “Jadot is inaudible at will, the mayor of Lyon, we can’t hear him, the mayor of Grenoble, we don’t hear him that much …“, he laments.
