Poll Claims That Le Pen Would Win the Second Round of the Presidential Election Against All Likely Opponents

The French vote in two "tours," or turns, the first featuring all qualified candidates, the second being a runoff of the top two vote finishers (and sometimes three, I don't know what the cutoff is, maybe if you get more than 25% you go to the runoff).

The bane of National Rally has been this second tour. In the second tour, everyone, including the supposedly right-leaning Republicains, votes for whoever is running against the NR candidate, even if it's a communist.

So we've seen repeated cases of NR candidates being in first place in the first tour and then being defeated in the second.

A new poll claims that Marine Le Pen would actually command a majority of votes in a second tour run-off against her likely opponents.

According to a survey by Toluna-Harris, a market research firm, Le Pen is projected to win the second round of the 2027 presidential election against all likely opponents.
...
According to the survey, Le Pen is favored over the far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon (68 percent versus 32 percent). Le Pen is also favored over so-called centrists Édouard Philippe (55 percent versus 45 percent) and Gabriel Attal (57 percent versus 43 percent).

The poll finds she would be the top vote-getter in the first tour, which isn't surprising, as NR candidates often are. It's the second tour that gets them.

This seems to confirm a poll from June, which also sees Le Pen winning the second tour -- although just barely so, if she's competing against a "centrist" candidate.

Back in July, a survey conducted by the French Institute of Public Opinion (IFOP) showed Le Pen beating Attal (54 percent vs 46 percent), Philippe (55 percent vs 45 percent), and Mélenchon (70 percent vs 30 percent) in the second round. The same survey also showed that Le Pen would receive roughly a third of the vote (36 percent). If she faces a centrist candidate in the second round, the survey projected that Le Pen would unite 50 percent of the right-leaning vote. If up against Mélenchon, Le Pen would unite 90 percent of the right-leaning vote.

I don't understand why they're saying she would "unite 50 percent of the right-leaning vote." I'm assuming that is mis-worded and they mean she would unite enough of the right-leaning vote to secure 50% of all votes.

Correction: No I guess I'm wrong, because they say she'd get 90% of the "right-leaning vote" against the communist Melanchon. But then I don't know why this is worth mentioning: Getting 50% of the "right leaning" vote is 1, not all that hard, and 2, something that happens as you lose the election, because getting 50% of the right-leaning vote would mean that you're getting around 20-30% of the total vote.

I guess she is getting a fair amount of left-leaning voters, too. Yes, I keep forgetting, Le Pen is attempting to forge an anti-immigrant/socialist alliance. She's not really "right" by any standard, except as far as sovereignty.

Meanwhile, the Socialists of Spain are demanding that the EU give it welfare money to pay for the 70,000 invaders they let into Ceuta.

Spain has formally requested emergency funding from the European Union to address the migration situation in its North African enclave of Ceuta, weeks after tens of thousands of people surged across the border from Morocco.
The European Commission said on Tuesday that it is closely monitoring the situation and remained "fully engaged at all levels" to ensure the security of the EU's external borders.

France, Toluna-Harris poll:

Presidential run-off election

Le Pen (RN-PfE): 68% (+1)
Mélenchon (LFI-LEFT): 32% (-1)

Le Pen (RN-PfE): 55% (+3)
Philippe (HOR-RE): 45% (-3)

Le Pen (RN-PfE): 57% (+3)
Attal (RE-RE): 43% (-3)

****************

They might mean that a certain segment of the electorate is "right-leaning" as opposed to being definitely "on the right", with Marine Le Pen winning 50% of the "right-leaning" if she faces a centrist candidate in the 2nd round but 90% if against Mélenchon. Some of those "right-leaning" might be abstaining in the 2nd round rather than voting against Marine Le Pen.

But I'd still rather have had Jordan Bardella as presidential candidate, since the best leaders of France have always been Italians.

that can't be it because that's a poll finding not worth reporting. Of course she'll get 50% of the right-leaning vote! (And someone who gets 50% of the right leaning vote is... a loser, because that's less than 25%).

The judicial system had disqualified Marine Le Pen from the coming presidential election, but this would simply have meant that the National Rally would instead nominate its parliamentary leader Jordan Bardella, and he polls better than Marine. Which explains the sudden about-face, with a court recently deciding that Marine Le Pen can compete in the presidential election after all.

The implication is that the voter segment they're considering "right" rather than merely "right-leaning" has grown so large that Marine Le Pen will win a narrow victory against a centrist candidate despite obtaining just half of the

Dear Minnesotans, you are being lied to and exploited on an industrial scale.

Third-party groups are mailing pre-filled absentee applications that invent your voting history. They thank you for “voting by mail in the past” even when you never have. Then they push you onto the permanent list so ballots keep arriving in your name whether you asked or not.

That is voter identity theft. It is happening in Minnesota right now.

Read how it works, why Trump’s USPS order and the SAVE America Act matter, and what we must demand: end the mass mailings, end automatic ballots, clean the rolls.

Then share it. Every Minnesotan who never voted by mail needs to see this before another envelope shows up with their name on it.

81 It's all national socialism.

The experts would never want to lose their places, so one of two things won't happen.

Either, various nations will resist internationalism, or the experts who think they are running their countries so well can't wait to take their place on the global stage.

But the state of experts will not "wither away". If we get to globalism, we'll get there because experts want to strut in "The Show".

But then again, Engels provided a mega-weaseling where the State could declare that there was no "state" as Marx defined it. Because the State has declared that everything is equal enough, that there is no more inequality, which defines "the state".

If the state stops doing stuff Marx and Engels didn't like, then effectively it's not "a state", and can exist eternally.

*************************

I managed to find and download the July report from the French Institute of Public Opinion (link in handle). It seems that the National Pulse decided to describe as "right-leaning" those who support specifically the party called Les republicains, which is now a fairly small part of the electorate. For the second round, the poll has Marine Le Pen winning about half these Les republicains supporters against either of the two centrist candidates and winning nine-tenths against Melencthon.

Hence all the confusion.

Also, the poll has Le Pen winning about one-fifth of the "Left" vote against either centrist candidate, and even against Melencthon she wins 15% of the "Left" vote while then obtaining two-thirds of the vote from those supporting the current "centrist" ruling coalition.

They have a lot more power than they let on and various countries have shown that occasionally by blocking boats in the Med and repelling them at fences in Poland.

The EU countries governments play-act that their hands are tied just like Biden & crew did for four years here.

Snort. Zohran has some good socialist speechwriters there. I'm surprised he didn't say that "Dolly was a big fan of ME." She worked for her money, Zo. You are a Nepo baby.

But it would have been amusing had some doltish speechwriter add "Mamdani particularly enjoyed her gospel tunes such as "There is power in the blood." And " When the roll is called up yonder."

We always started school when I was a kid around the third or fourth week of August, so we didn't get Labor day off because we'd only been in school like a week.
