France's moderates trapped
Pressure is mounting on the French as the economy worsens and the cost of living rises, while the political establishment frets over who will make it to the second round of the presidential election. According to a Harris Interactive poll conducted for M6 and RTL, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon qualify for the runoff in every scenario tested. Le Pen draws 34 to 36% of first-round voting intentions, compared with 18 to 19% for Mélenchon. Édouard Philippe trails Mélenchon by 5 to 7 points, while Raphaël Glucksmann polls at 11 to 13%—a sign of the moderates’ dilemma as they warn voters against a rupture while facing questions about the cost of staying the course.
