A poll ahead of next year’s French presidential election has put pro France politician Marine Le Pen almost level with President Emmanuel Macron in the final round of voting.
The poll by Harris Interactive saw Macron receive 52 percent of the vote to Le Pen’s 48 percent, according to Le Parisien.
France is due to head to the polls in April 2022 for the first round of the presidential election. The incumbent President Macron is eligible for reelection but has not yet said whether he will run again.
The study was commissioned by the CommStrat firm and the daily L’Opinion and was carried out online between January 19 and 20.
It suggested National Rally leader Le Pen would beat Macron in the first round, gaining 26 to 27 percent of the votes against his 23 to 24 percent.
If accurate, the survey indicates that Macron and Le Pen are set to duel for the presidency for the second time.
In 2017, Macron beat Le Pen in the second round, gaining 33.9 percent of the votes to her 66.1.
Normally left wingers would pinch their nose and vote for the establishment candidate but it appears this time they are thinking differently. A win for Le Pen would send shockwaves across the EU and Global politicial establishment.
