Directed before the announcement of Marine Le Pen’s verdict, an Odoxa survey published on March 31 reveals the popularity from Jordan Bardella.
Marine Le Pen sentenced to five years of ineligibility without delay the verdict of the appeal, the national rally is an orphan of his candidate in the last presidential elections. Unless … an Odoxa survey, carried out for Public Senate And the regional press before the verdict on Monday and published on March 31, reveals that the figurehead of the RN is precisely in the process of changing. President of the Flame party since November 2022, the one who had already assured the interim in this position during the presidential campaign of Marine Le Pen in 2021 is now preferred to her by 60% of the members of the National Rally. Only 32% still prefer Marine Le Pen to Jordan Bardella, when 7% reject them as the other.
If we take into account all French people, and no longer only members of the national rally, the observation is similar, although the figures differ greatly. Thus, question the personality they appreciate the most, or at least that they reject the least, 31% of French people respond in favor of Jordan Bardella, against only 16% for Marine Le Pen. The fact remains that 52% of French people reject them as much as the other. Also made notable: for the members of the RN, the conviction of Marine Le Pen this Monday would be seen as an “asset” (25%). Mostly, they would consider that this will not change much (44%) and only a third of them (31%) would judge the conviction as a handicap. Rather similar figures observed in the rest of the population. Only 33% of French people judged, before the verdict, the potential condemnation of Marine Le Pen as a handicap. They were 24% to see this as an asset and 42% neither as an asset nor as a handicap.
Jordan Bardella, at the head of the most friendly political figures
“On our membership rating, the ‘Dauphin’ is indeed almost as appreciated as the chef by the French (35% vs 37%) as by RN sympathizers (92% vs 94%)”, adds the president of Odoxa to Public Senate. Marine Le Pen, however, benefits from an increase in four points (37%) from the previous survey, passing before the former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe (36%). With one more point also, Jordan Bardella (35%) remains third in this classification of political figures arousing the most sympathy in the eyes of the French.
