2027 French presidential election: polls and political recompositions

On October 28, 2026, a poll indicates that a larger share of French people want to prevent Jean-Luc Mélenchon from accessing power than Marine Le Pen, while analyses highlight the dominance of populist attitudes and sympathy for the November 5 mobilization. On October 29 and 30, Édouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal appear in difficulty in the polls, elected officials from the former central bloc evoke another candidacy or a primary, and Terra Nova notes the concern of center and center-left voters. Jean-Luc Mélenchon is described as seeking to erase the center from the political chessboard, and analyses identify nine weak signals in the polls. Late October, a synthesis shows Mélenchon, Le Pen and Glucksmann progressing while the center recedes, potential candidates like Xavier Bertrand, François Hollande and Michel Barnier wait to declare, and Édouard Philippe's campaign is described as in difficulty.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover the same polling dynamic (center decline, Le Pen, Mélenchon and Glucksmann progression), but the left insists on the collapse of Macronism and the concern of central voters, the center on candidate-by-candidate curves and the possible emergence of new candidacies, the right on the barrier to LFI, weak signals and primary debates.

Left

Highlights Philippe and Attal's difficult campaign, their difficulty standing out from an unpopular Macron, Philippe's decline and the concern of center and center-left voters according to Terra Nova.

Centre

Privileges numerical changes by candidate, the possibility that new contenders declare, doubts of Macronist elected officials about Philippe and Attal, and societal angles on electorates.

Right

Emphasizes rejection of LFI (barrier to Mélenchon stronger than to Le Pen), weak signals in polls, Mélenchon's strategy of erasing the center, the debate on a right-wing primary and the weakening of the Macronist base.
