There's a debate tonight between some of the candidates (MLP, JLM, Lassalle, Arthaud, Roussel).

This is the sort of thing that has happened in South America, most recently in Peru. It is not fun in any sense. Oh yes it is if it is in France. It would be very very funny indeed and everything that they so richly deserve. Unlikelly i know but i can hear the howls of laugher if Le Pen won! |

I'm watching the debate. Roussel seems alright for a commie. Lassalle looks disturbingly like the French rocker Eddy Mitchell. The whole thing is being presented by the wonderful Léa Salamé, occasional foil of Zemmour on telly.
Lassalle is f***ing appalling. I wonder who the hell would think he's the answer.

A borderline beyond parody French nationalism and anti-woke stance that has mainly attracted middle class voters, combined with a proper old fashioned hard left mentality on economics (he has praised China and said Stalin was not not a comrade!). In Lassalle's case, rural voters. Tbf, the competition for that vote is just as if not even more appalling. |

Melenchon?! That must be a sign of how dire MLP's campaign's going if business executives prefer a communist and Zemmour to her. |

Well, she does have some crossover appeal with Macron's ideological base, so that's not as shocking as a communist beating Le Pen, but, yes, she should certainly look at the direction of travel in her campaign. |

Zemmour should have more appeal than her. Pécresse otoh... wow. Le Pen advanced to the second round last time, only one step away from the presidency, regardless of the situation this time. I understand that she has a contender in the same space like Zemmour this time round, but it's still embarrassing to slip to 4th below 1) a communist, 2) a even more extreme populist and 2) Pecresse (apart from Macron, obviously). Pecresse must be pleased with that whole 9 percent!  |

If Le Pen is elected it's not by business executives.
Mélenchon, as all trotskyst, has a fan base in the bourgeoisie. Non surprise here.
What that poll is inspiring me is: marxism has still good days ahead given this huge classist vote

What is meant by 'business executives' here? Though hilarious and catastrophic for Pecresse no matter how defined, clearly.

Nice to see that Hidalgo gets the same risible score amongst every group.

Nowadays, most people are becoming interested in an election once the first round has been held. Second round polls become interesting once the electors know of these results.
Examples:
Hauts-de-France 2021: systematically RN above 30% (around 35) before the first round; after the first round: 26%; result: 25,6% France 2017: RN above 35%, sometimes close to 40% before the first round; between the two it peaked at 41 before dropping at 37 to finish at 33,9% for a result.
Hauts-de-France 2015: between 47 and 54% before the first round; 47-48% after the first round; 42,2% in the end.
