French 2027 presidential election: polls and political realignments

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 mention another candidacy or a primary, and Terra Nova highlights 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. At the end of October, a synthesis shows that Mélenchon, Le Pen and Glucksmann are progressing while the center recedes, potential candidates such as Xavier Bertrand, François Hollande and Michel Barnier are waiting to declare themselves, and Édouard Philippe's campaign is described as in difficulty.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover the same polls but insist on different angles: the left focuses on the collapse of the macronist center and the concern of its electorate, the center on the dynamics of candidates and the emergence of new candidacies, the right on Philippe's decline, the barrier to Mélenchon and LFI strategies.

Left

Highlights the difficulties of Édouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal, their link with an unpopular macronism and the concern of center and center-left voters according to Terra Nova; also underscores Mélenchon's progression and Le Pen's lead.

Centre

Insists on numerical changes candidate by candidate, the possibility of new candidacy declarations by Christmas, calls from macronists for another candidate or a primary, and the populist match between Le Pen and Mélenchon.

Right

Underscores Édouard Philippe's decline and the primary debate on the right, the majority wish to block LFI rather than the RN, Mélenchon's strategy to erase the center, and the weakening of the macronist electoral base.
