French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron was more impressive than rival Marine Le Pen in Wednesday evening's final TV debate, a viewers' poll says.

The candidates traded insults for more than two hours, arguing over terrorism, the economy, and Europe.

Le Pen is going up against the Establishment candidate. The French MSM is just as corrupt as ours.

Le Pen might have been stronger but she needed to be “most convincing”.

Not what I heard. Heard Le Pen beat Macron like a rented mule. But then, this is the “beeb” reporting this.

There is no such thing as a candidate who is "most convincing" when only two are being compared.

Grammar matters.

Just like every CNN poll having Harpy winning all three debates.

Polls show 90% of those polled do not believe polls.

Hillary won every debate by 80 points, too. Just ask her. :)

Le Pen doesn’t seem particularly conservative. She spent a lot of the debate castigating “big business” and taxing which ones that decide to relocate

I don’t think she’s going to win, but the media spin was that Hillary beat Trump in the debates too. Trump lost the first debate, but he crushed her in the second and at a minimum tied her in the third.
