Macron’s lead narrows in French presidential poll
PARIS: Centrist Emmanuel Macron’s lead in France’s presidential election has narrowed though he is still on course to win, two polls casting light on voter intentions following a televised debate between candidates showed.
Macron would win 25% of the April 23 first round vote while far right leader Marine Le Pen was seen getting 2 4%, according to a Harris Interactive poll for France Televisions published on Thursday.
Both of their scores were down a percentage point from the last time the poll was conducted on March 23, though they would still comfortably make it into the May 7 runoff. There Macron was seen winning the presidency 62% to Le Pen’s 38%, a margin that was down from 65% to 35% two weeks ago.
