A new shock poll has shown that Emmanuel Macron could be defeated by Marine Le Pen as soon as in the first round of the 2022 French Presidential election. A new poll commissioned by CommStrat cabinet and the daily L’Opinion has found that, depending on the various potential candidates on the right and the left of France’s politics Emmanuel Macron could lose to Marine Le Pen in the first round.
The poll has found that the French President would gain 23 to 24 percent of the votes against the 26 to 27 percent that the Eurosceptic Le Pen could secure. The French Presidential election that is scheduled for next year is expected to see the pair at the centre election again.
The French MEP Helene Laporte tweeted with glee: “With up to 27 percent of voting intentions, Marine Le Pen would come far ahead of the 2022 presidential election, far ahead of Emmanuel Macron and Xavier Bertrand. We are on our way to victory!” In addition to this, the French MP Bruno Bilde added: “Marine in the lead in the first lap ahead of Macron! In 2022, the French will show this arrogant macronie that the people are BACK!”
President Macron has shifted his policy rhetoric in recent weeks and is attempting to pass new laws to drive home a law and order agenda . However, the new policies on security, law and order have sparked heated debate in France.
Christophe Guilluy who is a leading political geographer has warned Macron supporters: “They should be worried. The big cities, the metropolises, they are transforming themselves into citadels, surrounded by the working classes. This is big, and we saw it in the Yellow Vest movement”.
