According to the numerous polls carried out, regardless of the institute, the President of the Republic appears at the top of the voting intentions in the first round, collecting between 23 and 27% of the votes of the electors. The head of state took advantage of a “flag” effect at the start of the war in Ukraine, but has since declined in the polls. No poll gave him away from the second round during this presidential campaign.
The match promises to be very tight against Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election. The Head of State, facing the candidate of the National Rally, is given between 51.5 and 54% of the voting intentions: some polls place this second round confrontation within the margin of error. It should also be noted that Marine Le Pen is indeed the candidate who benefits from the dynamics of the campaign in the last days before the first round of this presidential election.
Emmanuel Macron held his first and only campaign meeting, a week before the first round of the presidential election, this Saturday April 2, 2022, at La Défense. “No one will make us back down” launched the president-candidate, applauded on a central stage by several thousand supporters, including the current and former prime ministers Jean Castex and Edouard Philippe and an audience of several members of the government or elected officials. .

Emmanuel Macron candidate for the 2022 presidential election
After weeks of false suspense, Emmanuel Macron therefore formalized his candidacy for the presidential election, this Thursday, March 3, 2022, in a letter addressed to the French and published in the titles of the regional daily press. He said he “wants” to, but the head of state delayed announcing his decision for a long time. The President of the Republic had explained that he wanted to get out of the health crisis and settle the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. If the first point seems to be on the way to being resolved, the second, on the contrary, has worsened and the war has been started. But faced with the timetable imposed by the Constitutional Council, the tenant of the Elysée was forced to announce his decision in the midst of an international diplomatic and humanitarian crisis, the deadline having been set for Friday March 4 at 6 p.m. On the side of La République en Marche, everything has been in order of battle for several weeks to praise the merits of the leader, defend his record and convince the voters to support him for five more years at the Palace.
What about Emmanuel Macron’s program? The Head of State intends, as he said during his meeting in Nanterre, to develop a “project of real rights, solidarity, social progress”. An inflection towards solidarity and purchasing power, women’s rights, child protection and education, with in particular the tripling of the Macron bonus, a 50% increase in aid for single mothers or even a “big school project”. But Emmanuel Macron assumes “that it will be necessary to work more”, in particular by conditioning the RSA to an activity and by pushing back the retirement age. He also fully defends the European project and intends to make France the “first great nation to get out of fossil fuels”, in particular by relying on nuclear power.
