2027 presidential election: tensions in the center and on the right

Late October 2026, Macronist elected officials are calling for a candidate other than Édouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal, citing their stagnation in the polls. A Terra Nova note highlights the concern of center and center-left voters, while Édouard Philippe's decline revives the debate on a right-wing primary. Jean-Luc Mélenchon is developing a strategy aimed at erasing the center from the political chessboard and pushing the Socialist Party into the fascist camp. On October 30 and 31, poll analyses show a progression for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Marine Le Pen and Raphaël Glucksmann and a decline for the center, in a campaign where candidates limit their field trips and where new candidacies could be declared.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover the same poll dynamic (center decline, progression of Mélenchon, Le Pen and Glucksmann), but the left insists on erasing the center and the concern of its voters, the center on campaign mechanics and the hypothesis of new candidacies, the right on the primary, rejection of LFI and opinion poll signals.

Left

Highlights the collapse of the center and Macronism, Édouard Philippe's decline in the polls, center and center-left voter concern according to Terra Nova, and Philippe and Attal's difficulty in distinguishing themselves from Emmanuel Macron.

Centre

Emphasizes campaign strategies (little field activity, displayed optimism, interviewers), Macronists calling for another candidate or a primary, and polls that could push new candidacies by Christmas.

Right

Highlights the right-wing primary debate revived by Philippe's decline, doubts about the 'democrats' primary', the majority wish to block LFI rather than RN, and the weakening of the Macronist electoral base.
