Macron 28.1% Le Pen 23.3% Mélenchon 20.1% Zemmour 7.2% Pécresse 5% Jadot 4.4% Lassalle 3.3% Roussel 2.7% Dupont-Aignan 2.3% Hidalgo 2.1% Arthaud 0.8% Poutou 0.7%
Mélenchon's was real, but not enough to get to the 2nd round. This will be a Macron-Le Pen re-match of 2017.
Two main parties have totally sunk:
And I really regret voting for him in the Green primary. He won 51/49 in the second round against radical ecofeminist Sandrine Roussel, who might have made the breakthrough... We'll never know. And I fell for Mister Electable. It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
Also suspect a lot of "tactical voting": Mélenchon was the only left wing with a smidge of a chance to edge Le Pen out of the second round and many left voters gave up on their candidates and voted Mélenchon instead.
Macron 28.5% Le Pen 23.6% Mélenchon 20.3%
Pécresse 4.8%
Note: the 5% threshold is important. Candidates who do not reach it won't get their campaign expenses reimbursed by the state election fund.
Sarkozy may make a comeback; he would be welcomed as a saviour for what used to be the mainstream right (which is the MAJOR casualty of this election). However, this time around, Sarko won't be arriving with suitcases of dollars from Libya to wipe the party's debts...
