There doesn’t seem to have been a post Toulouse terrorism bounce fir Sarkozy; his rise in the polls started before the terrorist attacks.
The big surprise is the enormous success of the extreme far left, anti-capitalist, anti-American, Jean-Luc Melanchon, who us now polling higher than Marine Le Pen.
Hollande is running scared, fearing that Melanchon is gobbling up all the far left votes that would normally go for him.
Another fact of note is the unprecedented people who say they will not vote at all.
Latest polls:
SARKOZY 28.5%
HOLLANDE 27%
MELANCHON 16%
MLP 14%
Nope. Probably 93 or 94. In 1789 everybody still thought there would be a kinder, gentler revolution.
