A new poll finds that leader Marine Le Pen now leads France’s presidential race while the incumbent Socialist Party has plummeted in popularity.
Thursday’s poll, conducted by CEVIPOF (Centre de Recherche de Sciences Po) in partnership with the French daily Le Monde, shows Le Pen of the National Front (FN) with between 25 and 26 percent of the vote, while the Socialist Party’s Benoît Hamon and Arnaud Montebourg (PS) received only 7% of voting intentions.
The presidential election will take place on April 23, with the possibility of a run-off election in May should no candidate obtain an absolute majority.
In second place behind Marine Le Pen is conservative François Fillon, who received between 23 and 25 percent of voter intentions. Through December Fillon enjoyed a comfortable lead in polls over Le Pen, but now their places have been reversed, Le Mondereported.
