French poll puts far-right leader Marine Le Pen ahead in 2027 presidential vote
PARIS: France's far-right veteran candidate Marine Le Pen looks set to lead in the first round of elections next year, as the country's increasingly disillusioned voters seek real change, a poll of more than 13,000 voters has suggested.
Le Pen could garner a third of the vote on April 18, 2027 in the first round to replace centrist President Emmanuel Macron, results from the Ipsos-BVA survey showed on Sunday.
Polls in recent months have shown Le Pen as the front-runner, but this survey of 13,060 people, conducted earlier this month, is unusually large in scale.
