File this away for Sunday - LaLibre.be is able to reveal to you the figures of the last survey carried out at the request of the team 1
of a candidate to a well-known polling institute. The trend seems to be influenced by terrorist threat Thursday night on Champs-Elysées. 2
Marine Le Pen would lead with 26%. François Fillon would follow (22%) , then Emmanuel Macron (21%) and Jean-Lic Mélenchon (17%.) 3
Benoît Hamon would be at 7% of the vote. Philippe Poutou (NPA) would fall sharply to find to 1%. 4
Philippe Poutou apparently hurt by his controversial remarks just after the Thursday night attack in Paris. 5
Bottomline-if LaLibre is correct , first round winners-Le Pen in pole position , Fillon in second place. Macron in 3rd , Melenchon in 4th. 6
