Recent opinion polls for round two of the French election on May 7 show Emanuel Macron with 59-60% and Marine Le Pen 40-41%.
Le Pen is trending up from April 24 results that were as low as 36-37%.
Still, Le Pen has a long way to go. Can she close the gap? How?
French Election Polls

Results show the two candidates combined only got 45% of the vote in the first round. Apathy and distrust are strong.
Political Ambush
On Wednesday, April 27, Macron met with striking Whirlpool workers at a planned event in Amiens, Macron’s hometown. In a surprise political ambush, Le Pen showed up first and was greeted with cheers and selfie opportunities.
