Paris/Munich – The French presidential runoff election will not take place until Sunday.

But as early as Wednesday evening, a survey by the Elabe Institute saw incumbent Emmanuel Macron as the favorite - at least among the observers of a TV duel between Macron and opponent Marine Le Pen: after the TV duel broadcast that day, around two out of three viewers stated that the politician was more convincing.

Of course, television viewers are not necessarily the same people who subsequently cast their votes.

Several survey institutes currently see Macron ahead - here is a selection:

These are good figures for Macron, but worse than in the last election five years ago.

At that time he had moved into the Élysée Palace with 66.1 percent - also after a runoff against Le Pen.

France election 2022: survey on suspicion of manipulation at Le Pen and Macron

However, a recent Ifop survey showed that a total of 14 percent of those eligible to vote assume the election was manipulated.

30 percent of those polled believe this to be true of the right-wing nationalist candidate Le Pen, and only seven percent of Macron sympathizers.

In general, 48 percent of the French believe that it is possible to manipulate the elections.

The institute did not ask in what form possible manipulations could take place and from whom they could originate.

However, it inquired about the people's most important sources of political information.

In France these are:

• television (42 percent)

• Internet (31 percent)

• radio (14 percent)

• national newspapers (5 percent)

• international newspapers (4 percent)

Either way: it will be exciting to have all the polling stations closed by 8 p.m.
