2027 presidential election: polls and candidate repositioning

On November 3, 2026, Senator Pierre-Jean Rochette leaves the Les Indépendants group to join the non-inscrits, so as not to appear affiliated with Édouard Philippe. The same day, several 2027 polls place Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon as qualifying for the runoff in the scenarios tested, while Édouard Philippe's decline in surveys is debated. After Édouard Philippe's appearance on TF1's 8 p.m. news, Jean-Luc Mélenchon denounces his speech and cancels his appearance on the channel, reigniting a controversy; Jordan Bardella is a guest on the 8 p.m. news then cancels a debate in Saint-Raphaël. On November 4, new polls confirm Marine Le Pen's lead, David Lisnard's rise and Raphaël Glucksmann's decline, and another poll judges her the most capable of reducing public debt.
