Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally (RN), is projected to achieve a historic high of 38% of the vote in the first round of the 2027 French presidential election, according to a recent IFOP poll conducted for Le Figaro and Sud Radio. This represents a significant lead over her potential opponents, with Édouard Philippe at 25% and Gabriel Attal at 20%, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon of La France Insoumise (LFI) would secure 12% of the vote. The poll indicates a widening gap between Le Pen and her rivals, with the left-wing parties struggling to gain traction. The survey also suggests that the political landscape remains fluid, with potential shifts in voter intentions as the election approaches.
