Marine Le Pen is now seriously beginning to believe in the conquest of the Elysée. Never so little difference between her and Emmanuel Macron, the two candidates who according to all forecasts should play in the ballot for the presidency of the French Republic.
The gap between the re-nominated president and the far-right challenger has narrowed to just 5 points.
According to the latest poll Elabe for BFM TV in a possible runoff between the two Macrons would have 52.5% of the votes, Le Pen, who would be supported by the other far-right candidate Eric Zemmour, 47.5%.
Many also observe the “warnings” at the bottom of the survey: the margin of error is 3.1%, an element that for the first time makes Marine Le Pen's hopes concrete.
Le Pen, who inherited the party from his father, is in his third presidential election. In 2012 he obtained 17.9%, the best result in the history of Front National (now Rassemblement National), but comes third behind Hollande and Sarkozy. In 2017 it goes even better, in the first round he takes 21.3% of the votes and he goes to play the ballot with Macron, who loses, stopping at 33.94%.
Will next time be the good one? We will find out on April 24, the date of the ballot. The first round of the French presidential elections is held on 10 April.
