THE French presidential race has been rocked after a opinion poll showed leader of the National Front party, Marine Le Pen, is by far the most popular political figure among right-wing supporters, and also gaining ground among left-wing circles.
According to the poll carried out by Odoxa for French television station France 2, 74 per cent of those who consider themselves ‘conservative’ and who claim to support right-wing politics want the head of the country’s leading anti-immigrant party to play a more influential role in French politics, both now and in the future.
Only 53 per cent of right-wing supporters claimed to feel the same way about France’s former head of state Nicolas Sarkozy, and 67 per cent for Alain Juppé, who is currently favoured to win the spring 2017 presidential election.
The opinion poll also said 50 per cent of the French population – both left and right-wing – think that Ms Le Pen is a ‘major’ political player and that she should be given more power.
Only 33 per cent said the same thing about Mr Sarkozy, and 27 per cent about Mr Hollande.
Aside from illustrating Mrs Le Pen’s rise in power and her new-found ability to win over voters feeling let down by Francois Hollande’s Socialist government, the poll also shows nearly two-thirds of the French – 62 per cent – think both Mr Hollande and Mr Sarkozy had been equally “bad” presidents.
One quarter of the French think that Mr Sarkozy was a better president that Mr Hollande, whilst 12 per cent think the exact opposite.
The poll made another shocking revelation: two thirds of the French – 63 per cent – think that left-wing politicians could be wiped off the French political scene following next year’s elections.
The poll also shows close to one quarter of left-wing voters – 24 per cent – want Mrs Le Pen to be given more political say, compared to 54 per cent for Mr Hollande, 17 per cent for Mr Sarkozy, and 72 per cent for Mr Juppé, who, according to most election polls, is the most ‘neutral’ presidential candidate.
The survey, which was carried out between 29 and 30 September and for which 1,053 citizens over the age of 18 were interviewed, also shows that 72 per cent of the French want Mr Hollande to leave the political stage, compared to 49 per cent for Mrs Le Pen and 66 per cent for Mr Sarkozy.
...the civilized world is fed up with socialism...
...with mooslems....and those who knuckle under.
Hilda MUST BE DEFEATED.
I can’t imagine how anyone would see this as a shock, and I’m surprised the numbers aren’t around 90%.
Burning cars and setting off bombs tends to make a certain type of immigrant less welcome. Imagine that!
Pics or bust ....
Yeah, funny how people don’t want to live around that so much!

My French coworker was visiting for some meetings a couple weeks ago. I dared to play dumb and venture into the immigrant/terrorism conversation. I asked how people were feeling about the immigrants and terrorist incidents. He immediately corrected me and told me in every incident, they were French born or French citizens, not actual immigrants committing the acts of terror. They were of north African descent and basically live in France due to past French occupation of thier lands...or something to that effect.
I’m pretty sure that in most of the incidents they were immigrants that are new to France but I didn’t want to argue and go down that path. He seems to be completely following whatever the PC government is feeding him there. Pity.
It’s time for an end to representative democracy and a beginning to benign, patriotic, and authoritarian rule. Minorities have rights, we’ve been fed up to our gills with that. But Majorities Rule, and that’s the side of the equation that has been lacking for a while.
I think you’re mixing up mother with daughter.
Well, if the French want to live under Muslim occupation to repent for their past sins—that is their call.
It sounds like many of them don’t think that is a great idea.
It took days to discover he was a Muslim and the name he was going under now. PC is killing us. We need to kill PC.
Le Pen will be the next president of France. All it will take in another terrorist attack.
Thus is layed out the chessboard. So what did the think would happen when the muslims started killing frenchmen and frenchwomen in random terror attacks? Did they think they'd rally around the government that put that stupid policy in place and is now defending it? Or would they say "enough" and maybe begin to think the anti-immigrant policy had a point all along?
Seems like the response was and is obvious.
When the next election in France? Le Pen should get more votes when they have it.
Killing PC off is the keystone to getting America back. We no longer have free speech!
Maybe I’ll move to France if Hillary is elected.
Well guess what? Those new immigrants they’re letting in will have kids that will be French-born.
Always “shocking” or “bombshell” when it turns out that regular folks are against introducing a lot of terrorists into their midst....
