A new poll published by the French daily Le Figaro indicates that far-right leader Marine Le Pen would win the presidential election by a large margin against any rival, according to Israeli media reports. The report also notes that betting sites have seen a surge in her odds following a court decision not to bar her from running. The report highlights Jordan Bardella, a pro-Israel rising star, as a potential prime minister under Le Pen.
A new poll published by the French daily Le Figaro shows Marine Le Pen winning the presidential election by a wide margin against any potential rival, according to Israeli media reports citing the poll. The report also states that betting sites have seen a surge in her odds, attributed to a court decision not to prevent her from running.
This follows a poll reported by The Zioneer at 10:23 Jerusalem time that found Le Pen would win the presidency in every scenario. The new poll adds the Le Figaro attribution and the specific margin, as well as the court decision claim. The report also highlights Jordan Bardella, a pro-Israel rising star, as a potential prime minister under Le Pen.
The court decision referenced in the report — a ruling not to bar Le Pen from running — would mark a departure from the July 7 French court ruling that disqualified her from the 2027 race, a decision she has appealed. The Zioneer has not independently verified the court decision or the poll's full details. The situation remains developing.
