More than one in two (51%) of French people who voted in the first round of the legislative elections “wish Emmanuel Macron to obtain a majority in the National Assembly and that he can apply his policy”, according to an Ipsos- Sopra Steria for Radio France, France Télévisions, France24/RFI/MCD and LCP Assemblée Nationale.
Conversely, 48% of those who went to the polls did so “so that the left obtains a majority, that Jean-Luc Mélenchon becomes Prime Minister and applies his policy”.
Another lesson: the voters who went to the polls this Sunday first wanted to send a message to the executive. Almost one in two active voters (47%) in this first round wanted to “express his opposition to Emmanuel Macron and his government.” 25% wanted on the contrary to support the President of the Republic and his government. 28% answer “neither one nor the other.”
26% of abstainers in the first round of the legislative elections, this Sunday, did not speak out because “the candidates do not talk enough about the subjects which concern them”, according to the same poll.
For 24% of them, “there was no election campaign”. 23% of them believe that they “do not know the candidates running in their constituency”. 17% of respondents believe that “this election will have no impact on their lives or on the situation of the country.”
