Recent polling averages for the April 2027 French presidential election show Marine Le Pen of the Rassemblement National leading first-round voting intentions at around 35%, well ahead of other declared or potential candidates. Jean-Luc Mélenchon of La France Insoumise typically places second near 17%, with Édouard Philippe, Raphaël Glucksmann, and Gabriel Attal clustered behind in the low-to-mid teens. Centrist fragmentation between Philippe and Attal has narrowed the gap for second place in recent surveys, while Le Pen maintains a consistent advantage across scenarios. The first round is scheduled for 18 April 2027, with the second round on 2 May; Emmanuel Macron is ineligible due to term limits. Ongoing campaign events, including candidate positioning and voter mobilization ahead of the vote, remain key variables.
