PARIS (Reuters) – A Harris Interactive opinion poll showed French right-wing commentator Eric Zemmour improving his position in second place behind President Emmanuel Macron in voting intentions for next year’s presidential election.
The poll, published on Tuesday, projected Zemmour winning 18% – 19% of first-round votes, up one point and widening the gap over Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right Rassemblement National party.
President Emmanuel Macron remained in the lead, with an unchanged 23% – 24%.
