the last days of the election campaign in France could be decisive. The poll results do not predict a very abysmal difference between the current president, Emmanuel Macronand the extreme right Marine LePen.
In fact, the current president could star in a decrease in support of more than 10 pointsstaying far from 66.1 of 2017. The opposite would happen to the far-right, since she would increase her votes by more than 10 points. This is how the OpinionWay-Kéa Partners survey for the newspaper ‘Les Echos’ picks it up: 54 percent of the vote for Macron and 46 percent for Le Pen.
The debate in this second round, held this Wednesday, also favored the candidacy of the president: a survey by the Elabe demoscopic institute for the BFM TV channel and the newspaper L’Express revealed that the head of state was more convincing to six out of ten viewers.
The voters of Mélenchon, decisive
Despite this, both candidates are going to have to fight in these last days of the campaign for the percentage of the leftist party Francia Insumisafrom Jean-Luc Mélenchon. This formation remained as the third political force in the first round of the presidential elections with 23.15% of the votes.
Are more than 7 million people will be decisive in the presidential elections this Sunday. They must opt for Macron, a center-right liberal politician, and Le Pen, a candidate for the far-right National Rally.

In this sense, a consultation made during the last days among leftist party affiliates reveal that only 33.4 percent of them plan to vote for Macron. The rest would opt for the blank or invalid vote or for abstention, according to the results published on the Mélenchon campaign website. in consultation more than 215,000 people participated. However, another very different image collects the survey published on Saturday by IPSOS-Sopra-Steriasince it showed that 33 percent of Mélenchon voters would support Macronwith a 16 percent leaning towards Le Pen and 50 percent refusing to comment on what they plan to do on Sunday.
