The essential
Marine Le Pen intends to prove the opinion polls wrong, this Sunday, April 24, 2022, by rallying a broad anti-Macron front in the second round of the 2022 presidential election. While all the polls, without exception, gave the candidate of the National Rally who lost in this election during the campaign, she aims to inflict on them a denial as scathing as during the qualification of her father Jean-Marie Le Pen in the second round of this same election, 20 years ago. Whatever happens, Marine Le Pen’s result, unveiled at 8 p.m. tonight, will be historic in more ways than one: after the heavy defeat against Emmanuel Macron five years ago, she should carry the far right (a term she rejects) at a level never reached in the country. In case of victory, she would become the first representative of this current and at the same time the first woman to reach the Elysée.

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.
