LE PEN BOMBSHELL: Shock poll shows growing number of French back anti-migration hardliner
THE French presidential race has been rocked after a opinion poll showed leader of the National Front party, Marine Le Pen, is by far the most popular political figure among right-wing supporters, and also gaining ground among left-wing circles.

According to the poll carried out by Odoxa for French television station France 2, 74 per cent of those who consider themselves ‘conservative’ and who claim to support right-wing politics want the head of the country’s leading anti-immigrant party to play a more influential role in French politics, both now and in the future.
Only 53 per cent of right-wing supporters claimed to feel the same way about France’s former head of state Nicolas Sarkozy, and 67 per cent for Alain Juppé, who is currently favoured to win the spring 2017 presidential election.
The opinion poll also said 50 per cent of the French population – both left and right-wing – think that Ms Le Pen is a ‘major’ political player and that she should be given more power.
Only 33 per cent said the same thing about Mr Sarkozy, and 27 per cent about Mr Hollande.
