Poll: Le Pen is well ahead in the 2027 presidential election
The Rassemblement National is reported to have gained four points in 15 days, reaching 36 per cent of the vote in first-round voting intentions
Marine Le Pen is well ahead in the polls for the first round of the French presidential elections in 2027: this is according to a poll carried out by the Ifop Institute for the LCI television channel and the newspaper Le Figaro, which suggests that the leader of the Rassemblement National (RN) would secure 36 per cent of the vote in the first round. This represents a rise of 4 points in 15 days, Ifop notes. Despite her conviction on appeal in the case concerning parliamentary assistants in Strasbourg, Le Pen announced her fourth bid for the Élysée Palace in 2027 on TF1 the other evening. The poll was conducted following her television appearance.
Court of Cassation: ‘We will do everything we can to reach a decision on Le Pen before the presidential election’
“We are working on it and will do everything we can” to reach a decision on Marine Le Pen’s appeal to the Court of Cassation before the first round of the 2027 presidential elections: this was stated this morning by the Prosecutor General at the French Court of Cassation, Remy Heitz, in an interview with France Inter. Heitz pointed out that the leader of the Rassemblement National had been convicted by the Court of Appeal in the case of the large-scale fraud involving EU parliamentary assistants, “but because of this appeal (to the Court of Cassation), the conviction is not final and she therefore remains presumed innocent”.
