Le Pen’s party sets new popularity record
The French right-wing National Rally party, formerly led by Marine Le Pen, has reached its highest popularity level ahead of a snap election, according to a newly released poll. President Emmanuel Macron called the vote earlier this month, following his own party’s poor showing in the European Parliamentary election.
On Friday, Radio Classique revealed the findings of its LegiTrack OpinionWay survey, concluding that the “National Rally is now at its highest in voting intentions since the start of this express campaign, at 37%, and has gained 2 points in one week. According to the media outlet, contenders from the left-wing New Popular Front alliance enjoy the support of 28% voters, while President Macron’s centrist alliance trails at 20%.
The first of two rounds of voting to decide the makeup of the French legisalture will be held on Sunday.
