The right wing leader of National Front has crept ahead of Emmanuel Macron and Francois Fillon, the latest polls have shown.

Ms Le Pen is tipped to get 26 per cent in the first round of voting in the French election, with Mr Macron taking 21 per cent and Mr Fillon 20.

Despite doubts Ms Le Pen could win her support is growing, especially from working class voters where she has around 44 per cent.

Loyal Le Pen fans are most likely to stick with their decision, polls suggest, with others being more likely to swing their vote.

Three quarters of voters for Ms Le Pen say they will vote for her no matter what, but only a third for Mr Macron’s fans said the same, and 60 per cent of those who are voting for Mr Fillon said they will not be swayed.

Ms Le Pen is hugely popular among workers in France, especially with policies which say foreign workers will be taxed more to pay for the unemployed in her country.
