09:01 – Emmanuel Macron’s presidential campaign officially over
Emmanuel Macron ended his campaign yesterday, to respect the reserve period just before the ballot for the second round of the presidential election with a last trip to Occitania, precisely to Figeac for a final meeting under the sign of rurality. During his campaign trips Emmanuel Macron often went to big cities but he took the time to come to the suburbs, particularly in Seine-Saint-Denis on April 21 and in small towns such as Figeac or Denain in the North on the first day of the between-two-rounds. A way to broaden the electorate to which it is addressed and which it intends to seduce.

All the polls carried out during the presidential campaign gave Emmanuel Macron the lead in voting intentions, ahead of Marine Le Pen. But beware: the results of the polls cannot be interpreted as predictions about the votes for this Sunday, April 24. They are only a photograph of public 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 our compilation of the polls published during this campaign, updated on Friday.
Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen officially qualified for the second round of the presidential election on Sunday April 10. The outgoing president came out on top in the first round with 27.85% of the vote, ahead of the RN candidate with 23.15%. Emmanuel Macron has thus improved his 2017 score (24.01%), even if abstention reduces this progress. He still won more than a million additional votes (9.7 million against 8.6 million 5 years ago).
Emmanuel Macron, in this campaign between the two rounds, indicated that he wanted to “complete” and “enrich” his program, in particular on ecology. He said he was ready not to push back the retirement age to 65. The Head of State also indicated that he was “not opposed” to the establishment of a “full” proportional system for the legislative elections.
