5% is usually the margin or error in European polls.
Margin of error is called: close.

Let’s compare that to what is projected for Sunday, for contrast.

Le Pen is against Islamic immigration. Nothing else matters.

Roger that but a poll with a MOE is, statistically speaking, garbage.

I have under my eyes the programs of both candidate sent into my mailbox for the next sunday ballot. Macron has many things wrong compared to Lepen on Islam, immigration, EU, law and order... but economically, it’s false to imply he is more socialist than Lepen.

He has promised much les regulations (as finance minister, he had deregulated the bus transport market) and more tax cut than her like cancelling the housing tax and part of the salary tax (where he will get the money, only God knows). Economically, Lepen is much more statist than Macron. Screw them both even if I’ll vote for Lepen to show my middle finger to the establishment polliticians.

Acknowledged. Isn't it sick, though, that the entire framework of the debate in France ranges from Socialism to—wait for it—Socialism, and the boundaries cannot practically exceed that.

To my mind, it sure must suck to be forced to decide whose version of Marxist Tyranny is most preferable—Le Pen's or Macron's—with, of course, no possibility of collectively escaping those self-imposed boundaries.

I truly pity the European Mind, which is fully submerged into the Borg Collective of "Democratic" Socialism. The American Mind—as confused as it is—is just palpably superior, and We The People should be eternally grateful for that fact...

But Macron said “never again!” about the Holocaust. How original. How profound. Woooooo!

Macron is an international banker.

Debates about policy are irrelevant since international bankers don’t believe in policy—they believe in ruling the masses.

Hmmmm.. I saw Le Pen as much stronger...but I’m Irish, not French.

And you didn't control the poll - here's hoping thatg they don't manage to do what the Left tried to do here - over poll their candidate and claim the other one has no chance so there's no sense in voting.

Looks like Big Media is pulling out all the stops for Oedipus Macron, just like they did for Hildebeeste and BathHouse Barry.

Hillary beat “Donald” in al the debates, too. And Bernie. LOL. Real folk knew who won, cheating or not. Same polling methods as the election are used for these sham viewer polls.

Macron is said to have referred to Le Pen supporters as cowards...or something similar.A lot like "deplorables" it seems.Also,Le Pen made a comment which,IMO,was *right on*:

"France will be ruled by a woman.It will either be me or Mrs Merkel".Beautifully put IMO!

Well, yes, it is state broadcaster just like Canada’s CBC. Take everything they say with great suspicion.

Big business is generally socially liberal and has their hand out to the government whenever the opportunity presents.
