Front National leader Marine Le Pen has taken a substantial lead in the latest French presidential election poll, eight points ahead of her nearest rival. Le Pen secured the support of 29 percent of those surveyed by Ipsos, placing her a commanding eight points ahead of former President Nicolas Sarkozy, representing Les Républicains, and a decisive 15 points ahead of Parti de Gauches (Left Partys) Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the Independent has reported.
At the last Presidential elections in 2012, a year after taking the reins of her party, Ms Le Pen came third in the first round of the with 17.9 per cent of the vote, behind Mr Sarkozy on 27.2 percent and eventual winner Mr Hollande with 28.6 percent.
Since then, however, the party has gone from strength to strength with a string of electoral successes, making her a serious contender for the 2017 Presidential race.
The French Prime Minister Manuel Valls earlier this week conceded that a Le Pen win next year is possible, with her bid boosted by the shock election of president-elect Donald Trump in the US Presidential elections.
Mr Valls said: If she does make it to the second round she will face either a candidate of the left or the right. This means that the balance of politics will change completely.
Appearing last Sunday on the BBCs Andrew Marr show an interview which Marr admitted in his preamble would have been unthinkable before Trumps election Le Pen said that Trumps win made possible what had previously been presented as impossible. This is really the victory of the people against the elites
She added: [This] is a global revolution.

I expect the Globalist to try to steal it from her.

Horrible news, no pollster was more wrong than Ipsos, well maybe Survey monkey
Good, and hopefully he to gets elected, and all this open border, lets open the west to third world immigrants sop women get raped, , and have backward views can stop, and be overturned.
I’m expecting some clique within our globalist, socialist ruling elite to attempt a false-flag event with Russia, in an attempt to divert the trend of localism and nationalism.
Wait until she proposes Frexit. Germany will declare war on France again.
It’s difficult to see her winning. Those numbers are good but the French Presidential elections are rigged to keep her out. She’ll need a huge shy le Pen vote to come out. I hope to be proven wrong, certainly recent events make her victory less improbable than before.
Frexit!
It will be very difficult this time to relegate her to third place in the first round. If she gets into the second round, she will win.
You mean she’s ahead double what they think?
He’s a she.
So what! The Germans and the French have been sticking their tongues out at each other all along, behind all this "amis bien-aimés/geliebte Freunde" baloney. At the drop of un chapeau/einen Hut, the Krauts will be charging across the border, and they'll be at it again.
Are the French too far gone to straighten their country out?
We shall see in 2017.
Go Le Pen
I understand that there will be elections in Austria pretty soon.
I don’t know?
Ditto the “excellent news”. A resurgent France could be the key in throwing off the Muslim invasion.
muzzie target, for sure.
It’s not the old man, but his daughter.
