I'm picking about 10% "blancs" this time, which will be historic. It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
I haven't seen the final numbers -- for some reason, they take hours to consolidate and publish the count we finished three hours ago -- But from the counting sheets I saw, she got less than that : about 13%. Macron about 81, and 6% "blancs".
The lesson I take from this, is that in an area where Le Pen has a low first-round score, her attractivity is lower than it is elsewhere (for example, a lower percentage of LR voters voted for her in my district than nationally)
All reinforces the fact that the FN vote is strongly socio-economic and territorial, and Macron, who certainly understands this, will need to do the opposite of his professed economic policies in order to turn it around.
How first-round votes migrated in the second round (Ipsos poll) It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
