Poll. Marine Le Pen getting closer to the Élysée Palace. Rivals lag far behind.
A recent IFOP poll shows Marine Le Pen gaining support ahead of the elections, with potential first-round votes between 34-38%. In hypothetical matchups, she leads against all opponents, including a 68% to 32% advantage over Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Le Pen attributes recent riots to Emmanuel Macron's policies and calls for legal reforms to address unrest. Macron's approval is low, with only 15% of voters trusting him.
