Concerns grow as polls for next year’s election show Eric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen with the backing of nearly a third of French voters.

In the latest election poll, published on October 6, two far-right figures make up the bulk of the predicted electorate with 32 percent; 17 percent for Eric Zemmour and 15 percent for Marine Le Pen.
