French 2007 legislative elections round 2 | 117 comments (117 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

A CSA poll says that more than 50% of votes went to the left on second round.

At Paris, one right candidate was elected a bit close to 50% (Tiberi 52.66%, former mayor of Paris) so these may go to the left at municipal election next year.

Re: Votes (none / 1)

Of course, with 109 right wing MPs elected in the first round, the more strongly right wing districts didn't vote, so having over 50% left wing votes in the second round isn't that surprising.

Re: Votes (none / 0)

It's very far from the polls for second round, that's why it's an interesting data point.

This result makes it seem the French opinion has started waking up, and that soon the état de grâce will be over. This could mean a very interesting autumn.
