POLITICS – In a month’s time it will be time to go to your polling station. The first round of the presidential elections will indeed take place on Sunday 10 April. But with the war in Ukraine mobilizing much of the media and political attention, it can be hard to project yourself into this election that will designate Emmanuel Macron’s successor.
The latter is now the big favorite in his succession, as you can see below in our poll compiler (read the methodology at the end of the article). The candidate president also benefits from the conflict at the gates of the European Union. At the forefront of Western response to Vladimir Putin, he has seen his voting intentions soar since late February and exceed 30% on average†
Conversely, Éric Zemmour is largely suffering from the situation and the far-right candidate is now far behind Marine Le Pen;at 17.4%, it is the highest since the beginning of the year† The former journalist is competing for third place with Valérie Pécresse who has not stopped falling since January and with Jean-Luc Mélenchon who, on the contrary, has experienced a positive dynamic since February. At about 12% it is at its maximum since the start of the compiler†
In addition to these five candidates hoping to make it to the second round, two (Yannick Jadot and Fabien Roussel) are mainly looking at the 5% bar that will help them reimburse their campaign costs. The others fight to survive, but the battle promises to get complicated.
The Twelve Official Candidates for the Presidential Election
The Constitutional Council on Monday, March 7, endorsed the list of 12 candidates for the elections on April 10 and 24. So the outgoing president has 11 rivals, four women and seven men.
Five are candidates for the first time (Yannick Jadot, Anne Hidalgo, Valérie Pécresse, Fabien Roussel, Éric Zemmour), two are candidates for the second time (Jean Lassalle and Emmanuel Macron) and five are candidates for the third time (Nathalie Arthaud, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Marine Le Pen, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Philippe Poutou).
