Less than three weeks before the first round of municipal elections, less than half of French people (45%) already know who they will vote for, reveals a Odoxa Dentsu consulting * poll for Le Figaro and Franceinfo, published on Thursday.

According to this survey, 41% of French people are undecided: 30% will vote but are still hesitant about the list they will choose, and 11% are neither sure to vote nor know which list they could choose.

Nearly 14% of French people want to "sanction Emmanuel Macron and the government"

As of now, 14% reply that they will not vote, a proportion far removed from the abstention actually registered in 2014, in the first round of municipal elections (36.45%). Nearly one in two French people (46%) think that the list for which they will vote "can improve things", 32% want to re-elect the municipal team in place and 14% "sanction Emmanuel Macron and the government".

Asked about the priorities of their future mayor, those interviewed put the safety of goods and people first (49%), ahead of the development of the local economy, the environment and the fight against pollution (35% each) . Three responses were possible. Two out of three French people (65%) finally think that Emmanuel Macron must reshuffle the government after the municipal elections.

* Survey carried out online on February 25 and 26 among 1,004 people aged 18 and over, using the quota method. Margin of error from 1.4 to 3.1 points.
