THE PEN. Marine Le Pen ended her campaign for the 2022 presidential election this Saturday, April 23. Pending the result of this election, Sunday April 24, a look back at the highlights of the RN candidate’s campaign…
The essential
- Will Marine Le Pen win the second round of the 2022 presidential election? The dice are now cast, the campaign ended this Friday at midnight and the result will be known this Sunday, April 24, in the evening. If the candidate of the National Rally has always been given behind Emmanuel Macron before the 2nd round of the ballot, the results of the polls can in no way be interpreted as a forecast of the result of the vote. The extent of abstention or the ultimate dynamics of opinion make the verdict uncertain.
- Marine Le Pen’s presidential result is already up on the previous election. In the first round two weeks ago, she obtained 27.85% of the vote, against 20.3% five years earlier, an increase of nearly 500,000 votes. The daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen had gathered 33.9% of the votes during the second round which already opposed him to Emmanuel Macron.
- From this Saturday, Marine Le Pen must, as it should, end her campaign. The law imposes a reserve period during which any electoral propaganda is prohibited. At the time of the balance sheet, it is no longer a campaign of “de-demonization” that should be retained concerning the candidate of the RN, but of “normalization” or even “trivialization”, with the desire to blend into the landscape Politics. A look back at the highlights of the past two weeks.

10:30 – Marine Le Pen in the 2nd round for the second consecutive time
By qualifying for the second round of the presidential election in this 2022 election, Marine Le Pen has climbed into the final duel for the second consecutive national election. In 2017, the National Front candidate won 21.30% of the votes cast, behind Emmanuel Macron. A scenario that repeated itself this year, the representative of the National Rally having been credited with 23.1% at the end of the count. For the historical formation of the far right, it is even a third access to the second round after Jean-Marie Le Pen in 2002, against Jacques Chirac.

At the end of the first round of the 2022 presidential election, Marine Le Pen came second with 23.15% of the vote, behind Emmanuel Macron with 27.85% of the vote. The National Rally candidate only obtained 420,000 votes more than Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who failed in third place with 21.95% of the vote. Marine Le Pen nevertheless obtained a better score than in 2017 (20.3%) and won almost 500,000 more votes (8.1 million voters against 7.6 5 years ago). Its best results are recorded in the departments of northern and eastern France. The candidate came first in 20,000 municipalities out of the approximately 36,000 in the country.
Numerous polls have punctuated the 2022 presidential campaign, until Friday, April 22. All gave Emmanuel Macron in the lead, ahead of Marine Le Pen, but the poll results cannot be interpreted as forecasts for this Sunday’s votes. The polls have already strayed from the actual results. And the polls are only a photograph of opinion at a precise moment, so they do not record the ultimate dynamics, that of the undecided nor that of the extent of mobilization and abstention. Here, as a reminder, is an update on the polls published during this campaign, in our article updated on Friday evening.
Marine Le Pen has promised to “put France back in order by ensuring the protection of the French”. Several axes were put forward in his program during the campaign such as a “progressive system” allowing retirement from the age of 60, a triptych “protect, plan, transmit”, the superiority of constitutional law over European law to “restore the EU in its place”. It also intends to stop immigration, fight Islamism and raise purchasing power, with the aim of “giving back their money” and “their country” to the French.
