It is a survey that will make Laurent Wauquiez smile.
According to an IFOP survey for
Lyon Capitale
and Sud Radio unveiled this Thursday, November 26, the outgoing president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region would be re-elected in all cases during the regional meetings next June.
The name of his future socialist opponent - Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the former minister of François Hollande, or Jean-François Debat, the mayor of Bourg-en-Bresse - would not change anything.
Laurent Wauquiez arrives in these two hypotheses in the lead in the first round with 31% of the voting intentions.
The left far behind
Behind him, in second position, comes the head of the list of the National Rally, Andréa Kotarac (20%), then that of La République en Marche, potentially embodied by the deputy Célia Lavergne (13 or 14%).
The ecologists, carried by Fabienne Grébert, are given fourth, neck and neck with Najat Vallaud-Belkacem (12% each), and ahead of Jean-François Debat (13% against 10%).
The outgoing president would not be in difficulty in the second round either, even if the left manages to unite behind the environmentalist Fabienne Grébert.
Laurent Wauquiez collects 36% of the voting intentions, against 26% for the list of union of the left, 23% for the list of the National Gathering, and 15% for the list of La République en Marche.
He would also benefit from a withdrawal in the second round from the LREM list, with 43% of the voting intentions, against 25% for the RN, and 32% for the list of union of the left.
This first good survey is in line with the popularity of Laurent Wauquiez in his region.
65% of residents say they are satisfied with it (9% very satisfied; 56% somewhat satisfied).
