It's a great big slap to Le Pen and the smaller candidates.

De Villiers lost his own region/stronghold in Vendee (he had won Vendee in 1995). He got only 11.8% this time around in Vendee. Wow. that stings.

Oh, and the polls OVERESTIMATED Le Pen? Can you believe that? The 20-4-07 IPSOS poll gave him 13.50%, he got around 11%.

I ask- how do you explain the drastic fall for Le Pen, but also for people like laguiller, nihous, and voynet, all candidates whose parties got around 4-5% in 2002?

Schivardi won his hometown of Mailhac with 54%

Le Figaro is reporting this new poll by Sofres about the run-off:

http://www.lefigaro.fr/presidentielle-sondage/20070424.WWW000000442_sofres_duel_serre_entre_royal_et_sarkozy.html

This is somewhat good news for Royal
According to this, Sarkozy would get 51% and Royal 49%.
46% of Bayrou's voters said they would vote for Royal; only 25% for Sarkozy!!! and 29% didn't say.
62% of Le Pen voters would support Sarkozy and 16% Royal.
However, 72% of the people think Sarkozy is going to win at the end.

On another note, apparently Royal has offered Bayrou that she would name some UDF ministers if he supports her. Just as it was natural to predict, she's trying to move to the center now.

Yahyahyah... So what? An IPSOS poll from the 25th gives Sarkozy 53.5 and Royal 46.5. No reason to get amazed or to start pissing in your pants because of one poll.

Let's hope Bayrou is smart (could he be?) and doesn't go to either side. If I was him, i'd shut my trap and tell my voters to vote for who they want. If he does choose a side, the other side will make him and the UDF pay dearly.

Don't count your chickens yet. The newest poll from TNS-Sofres shows Sarkozy 51, Royal 49.

I know. But its only ONE poll out of the 6 million to be published soon.

What "good" things has she done in her own region, Poitou-Charentes? Nothing world-famous atleast.

[Hash]

I'e been looking at my departement, 35, Ille-et-Vilaine (Never lived there but my French side of the family is from I-e-V). I-e-v was VERY tight. Royal won with 28.22, Sarkozy got 28.12, Bayrou 23.80. Sarkozy won my "home town" (family's hometown).

I think I-e-V could go Sarkozy in R2.

[Hash]

In Paris 15th circonscription,Royal got only 8.83. Sarkozy won 68.89... The 15th circonscription is part of the 16th arrondisement.

Marchais? Because I think he's funny. And I might keep him there in souvenir for the PCF cause with 1.9%, they're not going anywhere.
