Current Affairs 2022 French presidential election

The first polls since Les Républicains nomination and Zemmour's declaration have Le Pen and Pecresse neck and neck for the second place. They are both at 17% in one poll, with Le Pen ahead by 4% in the other. Zemmour is trailing at 13-14%.

Both polls have all three candidates losing in run-offs vs the monster:

• Pecresse loses with a vote share of 47-48%
• Le Pen loses with 44-45%
• Zemmour only gets about 39%

If you look at demographics, you see that Le Pen is the most popular candidate with voters aged 25-34 and working class voters. As you'd expect with LR, Pecresse is a narrow second place for voters aged 65+ (she's 3% behind Macron).

And Zemmour? There are no specific groups where he is the favoured candidate. His best numbers are with voters aged 50+, but he's still trailing in third place. He has to up his game for sure.

That's an interesting report.
Only the other right wingers in the frame.
Socialists fragmented and nowhere.
Hidalgo 3%in first round???.

Melenchon still at 9%, but I guess a lot of the people who would back the PS are now switched fairly permanently to Macron whilst he is President.

Be interesting to see what happens if he lost though; you’d think the fakeness of his movement would become obvious and all those voters would be up for grabs again.

be funny if Macron doesn't make the second round, Pecresse v Zemmour should be cringe worthy

she’d probably smash him, 80/20 or something mad like that, the only people who’d be left with a reason to vote Zemmour would be the edgy types

Defo. But knowing his anti feminist stance, that would be similar to Clinton v Trump one, albeit with a different result

Hardly bears thinking about.
Can't Imagine the abstentions rate.

Actually, having never really taken any interest in French politics, here’s one to consider, Valérie Pécresse,…

And this is the one I’m going with……

Pecresse is pretty, n'est ce pas.
If she does win next year she will be the first ever female predident
Analysts are saying that things would be not very different from life with Macron.

Another facet of American cultural imperialism.
quickly taken up by the Paris self styled intellectual elite.
Unlike UK, France in general is relatively slow to adopt American philosophies that are alien to them.

Reported in Le Figaro today. 20/12

Dans un sondage, réalisé pour Le Monde, la candidate LR Valérie Pécresse gagne 1,5 point à Emmanuel Macron et Eric Zemmour.

This puts Pécresse on 18,5% of first round votes. Le Pen and Zemmour on 14,5%
Macron on 24%.

Un style presque Bolasie-sque! A new footballing star is born, as to whether he'll represent Algeria or his native France remains to be seen
