He flew over the polls throughout the duration of this presidential campaign.
The election results prove them right.
On the evening of the first round, this Sunday April 10, Emmanuel Macron obtains 28.1%
votes, according to Ipsos-Sopra Steria estimates for Le Parisien, France Télévisions and Radio France, which allows the outgoing president to reach the second round and run for a new term.
It is
almost three points more than the 24.01% obtained at the end of the first round in 2017, and in line with the 24% to 30% with which he was credited in the polls in recent days, proof that the battle promises to be fierce against Marine Le Pen (RN, 23.3%).
Occupied internationally by the war in Ukraine, and before that by the Covid-19 pandemic, Emmanuel Macron led a lightning campaign, the culmination of which was a single meeting in Nanterre.
Benefiting from a favorable economic balance sheet at the end of his mandate, marked however by the unprecedented social crisis of the Yellow Vests, Emmanuel Macron will have centered his program around the controversial reforms of the legal retirement age, which he wants to increase to 65 years, and the RSA, which he intends to condition to fifteen hours of work per week.
It remains to be seen whether this strategy will carry him after the second round, while the McKinsey affair and the massive use of consulting firms under his five-year term continue to agitate this end of the campaign.
Because the hardest part is yet to come for Emmanuel Macron and LREM.
This year, against
Marine Le Pen, who ran her campaign and developed her program in clear opposition to hers, there is no guarantee that the outgoing president will have enough votes to win the election.
After knowingly avoiding debate in recent weeks, will Emmanuel Macron's "at the same time" still bear fruit in 2022?
