Is France anchoring itself more and more to the right?

Six months before the presidential election, a Fondapol / Le Figaro survey carried out by Opinionway tends to demonstrate this.

The block on the right is advancing, while the one on the left is retreating.

37% of French voters see themselves on the right, while the left represents 20% of voters.

DECRYPTION

Some politicians repeat it over and over: "France is on the right."

A survey by the Foundation for Political Innovation (Fondapol) for

Le Figaro proves

them right today.

To the question "on a scale of 1 to 10, where do you stand?", The 1 corresponding to the ideas furthest to the left and the 10 most to the right, 37% of voters answer between 6 and 10, to right then.

That is four points more than in 2017. Conversely, fewer and fewer French people are placed on the left or in the center.

The left thus represents 20% of voters, against 25% four years ago.

Only 34% of potential voters left for the presidential election

This trend is also felt in the themes that are part of the priorities of the French according to the people questioned.

Security, immigration and reducing unemployment are among the top concerns.

If we look at the impact on the presidential election, we observe that 56% of the French could vote for a right-wing candidate whatever it is, from Xavier Bertrand to Marine Le Pen, via Éric Zemmour or Nicolas Dupont-Aignan.

The left, it forms a block of only 34% of potential voters.

Another information provided by the survey, the popular classes are more tempted by the right.

63% of people without a degree or with a low degree of education will vote for a right-wing candidate in 2022.

 France is becoming more and more

upright

The right therefore appears in a strong position for 2022, at least on paper.

In fact, the study concludes that no figure stands out clearly in the current political landscape.

The Republicans have lost influence, and the conservative and sovereignist right wing is divided between Eric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen.
