The French people’s opinion, so far, is unmoved by the lawfare offensive against Le Pen.
With Emmanuel Macron’s record unpopularity and his failure to groom a viable successor from his centrist-Globalist field, the right-wing RN party, headed by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, has become the favorite for next April’s Presidential election.
Even though an appeal court upheld a guilty verdict against Le Pen for embezzlement of EU funds, this hasn’t changed.
Le Pen is still set to be France’s next president, two opinion polls show.
Reuters reported:
“Much can happen until the ballot’s first round on April 18 next year, and the pollsters stress this is not a forecast, but rather a snapshot of current voting intentions.
But both surveys, by Ifop pollsters for LCI and Le Figaro, and Toluna Harris Interactive for M6 and RTL show Le Pen leading the first round and being elected in the run-off on May 2, as did most opinion polls before the verdict.”

The polls were carried out after Le Pen announced she would run in the election, even after her appeal against the conviction of having misused EU money to pay party staff was rejected.
“For the first round, Ifop sees the leader of the anti-immigration, Euroskeptic National Rally ahead with 36%, improving on ratings of 32-34% in previous surveys by the same pollster over the past months. None of her opponents would have more than 19% at best. The other poll shows similar results.”
In the run-off, both pollsters see Le Pen winning against all opponents.
