Recent polling shows National Rally candidates Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella leading first-round voting intentions at 35-37 percent, well ahead of Jean-Luc Mélenchon on the far left and center-right figures such as Édouard Philippe. Le Pen’s July 2026 appeal upheld her embezzlement conviction but shortened the ineligibility period, allowing her to confirm her candidacy while pursuing further review. This legal clarity, combined with the party’s strong municipal election performance earlier in 2026 and Macron’s term-limit exit, has consolidated trader expectations that an RN contender will advance. The fragmented opposition on the left and center, plus the April 18 2027 first-round date, leaves open the possibility that Mélenchon or a conservative alternative could secure the second qualifying spot depending on turnout and alliance dynamics.
