FRENCH presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron has pulled ahead of right-wing firebrand Marine Le Pen after a furious war of words in the last TV debate ahead of Sundays vote, a snap poll has claimed.
Ms Le Pen made the most of her final opportunity to trade blows with the En Marche! candidate by hitting out at the political establishment, slamming the crumbling EU bloc and branding her competitor a darling of the system.
But her explosive performance did not do enough to push her ahead of Mr Macron according to a snap Elabe Poll for French TV channel BFMTV.
Voters are believed to have found Emmanuel Macron more convincing than the former Front National leader, with 63 per cent saying they were swayed by the centrist candidate and only 34 per cent backing the arguments of Ms Le Pen.

Hopefully more fake polls from the foreign variety of fake news.
um... Macron was ALWAYS ahead... and it wasn’t even close.
Anyone that has faith in the French... needs to get their heads checked.
He was already ahead.
Very odd headline.
“Macron pulls AHEAD of Marine Le Pen”
I thought he was always ahead and she is the one coming up from behind. Sounds like fake news to me.
Nah. Probably due to the lyin’ king endorsement. ;-)
I am hoping Marcon is the same “10 points ahead” as HilLIARy was.
Can the author point to a poll where Macron was not ahead of Le Pen? He’s always been leading in the polls. So was Hillary.
Le Pen was never going to be able to "Make France Great Again." The best we could hope for was that she could "Make France Tolerable Again."
MFTA!!!
We nearly put a rapist back in the White House.
France is close to having a pedophile as Firsy Lady.
For any who are inclinded look up Lauren Southern's latest youtube videos. She has been in Paris the past few days, week.
Things are blowing up everywhere. Fires, bombs, destruction, mayhem--the entire city is under siege. AND THIS IS JUST FROM THEIR OWN LEFTISTS, not even the Islamists.
That people are STILL not ready is mind blowing.
France is going to fall. And soon.
Even if Macron gets all the swing votes (and no one ever has)...there is no way Marine Le Pen can win.
Mme. Le Pen is and remains the underdog, and M. Macron remains the favorite. I don’t consider it likely that she wins, but I am curious about how much the debate boosts her support. Indeed, the Front Nationale doesn’t have to win, but gain enough support that they can no longer be ignored.
If she gets over 40%, and is able to leverage a respectable showing into a significant FN vote in the National Assembly elections on 11 and 18 (run off) June 2017. That in and of itself may force the establishment in a somewhat more sensible direction.
Or make france a bit more french again.
Natural selection has largely been eliminated from our society. That is how leftists can survive and reproduce.
Conservatives here don’t want to understand that France is not America even America is just barely America anymore. France is full of poor people dependent on the government. And they are brainwashed with liberalism.
I wonder who Mirelle Mathieu supports?
And our polls said Hitlery was always ahead of Mr. Trump. Look what happened here!
But, but, but the polls also predicted that BREXIT Polls indicated “an average of 48% Remain, 46% Leave and 6% undecided ahead of the vote.”
Pretty much the same prediction for Trump v. Clinton.
Fun to watch, hope she wins!
Fake news using fake polls. Where have we seen that before?
Sorry. You have good souls, and I hate giving good people bad news.
