Still on the rise this Thursday (15.5%, +0.5), the candidate of rebellious France Jean-Luc Mélenchon is approaching the second round in our Ifop-Fiducial poll.

The qualification for the second round of Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen is not yet guaranteed in our latest Ifop-Fiducial poll for Paris Match, LCI and Sud Radio. If the President of the Republic is still largely in the lead with 28% of the voting intentions in the first round of the presidential election – the McKinsey controversy did not reach it – the candidate of the National Rally Marine Le Pen bent for the first times for a week, losing 0.5% to fall back to 21%. In fact, as the candidate of rebellious France Jean-Luc Mélenchon is still progressing to reach his best score since the start of our consultation on January 10, 2022, there is only a 5.5 point difference between the two adversaries. policies. Can the “sagacious turtle”, as he described himself, qualify on the wire for the “final” of the election?

Valerie Pécresse at 10%

Another fact from our poll of the day, candidate LR Valérie Pécresse drops further to reach 10% of voting intentions in the first round, her lowest score since last January. Affected by Covid-19, the president of the Ile-de-France region had to limit her media appearances, which partly explains this drop. Eric Zemmour, he progressed by 0.5 points on Thursday to return to 11% of voting intentions. Trocadero effect? It nevertheless seems very far from the third place kept by Jean-Luc Mélenchon and even further from Marine Le Pen – 10 points separate them.
