Three polls indicate Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) is leading the race ahead of France’s parliamentary elections, surpassing the leftwing Popular Front and President Emmanuel Macron’s centrists.

According to an IFOP survey, RN would secure 34% of the vote, with the Popular Front at 29% and Macron’s bloc at 22%.

A Harris Interactive poll places RN at 33%, the left at 26%, and Macron’s camp at 21%.

An OpinionWay poll shows RN leading with 35%, followed by the Popular Front at 27% and Macron’s camp at 20%, Reuters reported.

While these polls suggest RN’s dominance, the two-round majority vote system means the final outcome in the National Assembly remains uncertain.

Harris Interactive’s rough seat projections estimate RN and its allies could win 235 to 280 seats, short of the 289 needed for an absolute majority but positioning them as the largest bloc.
