Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally faction in the French National Assembly, has emerged as the leading candidate for the 2027 presidential election, according to a recent poll conducted by Ifop for Le Figaro Magazine and Sud Radio.

The survey, conducted between December 6 and 9 among 1,101 registered voters, revealed that Le Pen would secure 35-38% of the vote if the election were held today—a level of support she has never reached before.

Former Prime Ministers Edouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal trailed behind, polling at 24-26% and 20%, respectively.

The poll also indicated a decline in Attal's popularity, down from 24% in September.

The margin of error for the poll was 1.4-3.1 percentage points.

Times of upheaval

This surge in support for Le Pen comes at a time of significant political upheaval in France.

On December 4, a no-confidence motion proposed by the left-wing France Unbowed party led to the resignation of Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his government.

The motion was supported by a majority of lawmakers, marking the first time a French government has resigned since 1962.

President Emmanuel Macron accepted Barnier's resignation, and the cabinet will continue in a caretaker capacity until a new government is appointed.
