The best score would be achieved by Xavier Bertrand, the ex-LR boss of the Hauts-de-France region achieving 59% against 41% for the president of the National Rally.
The president of the Île-de-France region Valérie Pécresse, also ex-LR, would obtain 55% against Marine Le Pen, a little better than Emmanuel Macron who would collect 54% against the far-right candidate.
On the left, the socialist Anne Hidalgo would be on a par with Marine Le Pen, 50/50, but the leader of rebellious France Jean-Luc Mélenchon would be largely beaten with 40% of the vote against 60% for the president of the RN.
According to these second-round hypotheses, the ecologist Yannick Jadot would also be beaten by 47% of the votes against 53%.
