You realize that any Mélenchon gains will come at Hamon's expense, right?

Yes, I do. Hamon simply doesn't have a realistic chance at this point. That's not to say Mélenchon does, but if his strong performance elevates him in the polls, considering the incredibly slim chance either left-wing candidate has of reaching the second round, then at least one of them has some hope. Plus, Mélenchon, based on my admittedly limited knowledge of French politics, seems the more fitting candidate for my political views.

[JA]

For the first time ? She's leading for the first round since 3 years.

Poll BVA

Macron: 23% (-2)
Le Pen: 23% (-1)
Fillon: 19% (=)
Mélenchon: 19% (+4)
Hamon: 8.5% (-3)

Second round: Macron 61% (+1), Le Pen 39%

YES! It's time for Hamon to dropout and endorse Mélenchon like I said almost a month ago. He is the only chance the French left has at winning the Presidency.
