Marine Le Pen estimated Friday that the hypothesis of his victory had become "plausible" about an unpublished poll that puts her neck and neck with Emmanuel Macron in the second round of the presidential election in 2022.

Granted, "there is a margin of error, things are not done, it's a poll, it's a picture at one point of course. But what it says is that the hypothesis of my victory is a credible and even plausible hypothesis, "said Marine Le Pen at a press conference.

This poll "says it's time to come together. It tells all those who no longer want Emmanuel Macron's politics that it is time to come together around my candidacy," he said. she adds.

He also says that "the hopes of various and varied candidatures must be abandoned, the situation is too important", and that "all the theory which has been developed for months and months (according to which) + she cannot win + was relevant of the Coué method ", argued the far-right leader.

"There are a certain number of people who are reassured by telling or repeating + she cannot win +. Well yes, she can win", assured the head of the RN.

The head of state would be credited with 52% of the voting intentions in the second round against 48% for the president of the RN, a gap lying within the margin of error of the opinion poll, according to the second part of 'a Harris Interactive poll, unpublished but revealed by Le Parisien and l'Express.

The survey was carried out online on January 19 and 20, with a representative sample of 1,403 people.

For the second round, the poll indicates, according to the Parisian, that a third of the voters of François Fillon (LR) in 2017 would be ready to vote Marine Le Pen against the outgoing president.

And one in two left-wing voters would not see the point of going to the polls in the event of a Macron-Le Pen duel.
