The last round of polls ahead of the first round of the French presidential elections show incumbent President Emmanuel Macron slightly pulling ahead of his far-right rival Marine Le Pen.

The polls are set to open in just two days, on Sunday, and they will be followed by the run-off elections on April 24.

Elabe poll predicted that Macron could win 26% of the votes, while it put his radical opponent just 1% behind him at 25%. Far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon came in third place with 17.5%, and his far-right counterpart Eric Zemmour came in fourth with 8.5%. Republican candidate Valerie Pecresse came in fifth with 8% of the vote.

All in all, Macron is projected to win 51% against Le Pen, poised to get 49%.

The latest Ipsos poll gave Macron 26.5% of the vote and 23% to Le Pen. Much like the Elabe poll, Ipsos gave Malenchon third place with 16.5%, while Zemmour and Pecresse got fourth and fifth place, with 9% and 8.5%, respectively.

Elabe's poll was conducted on Thursday and Friday on 1,801 adults, with the margin of error between 1% and 2.8% percent. 

On the other hand, the Ipsos poll was held from Wednesday to Friday and included over 1,500 adult respondents. Its margin of error is up to 2.4%.
