Hollande in the lead in poll
The MP for Corrèze is set to win not only the Socialist primaries but the presidency, says a survey
SOCIALIST MP François Hollande is favourite to win not just his party’s primaries, but the presidential elections, says a survey published today.
The CSA survey for BFM TV, RMC and 20 Minutes shows the Corrèze MP would win 28% of the vote in the first round of next year’s elections, followed by Nicolas Sarkozy, 24% and Marine Le Pen, 18%.
If on the other hand rival for the Socialist candidacy Martine Aubry was in the running, she would win 27% compared to 25% for Sarkozy, said the poll.
A total of 34% supported him as Socialist Party candidate, compared to 27% for Aubry and 19% for Poitou-Charentes council president Ségolène Royal.
Hollande was also the candidate with the most “presidential bearing”, the survey said (40% compared to 19% for Aubry and 10% for Royal).
