Outgoing President Emmanuel Macron came out on top in the first round of the 2022 presidential election with 28% of the vote, according to Ipsos-Sopra Steria estimates for France Télévisions.

Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen respectively collect 27.6% and 23% of the votes.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, in third position, obtained 22.2% of the vote.

Ahead of Eric Zemmour (7%), Valérie Pécresse (4.8%), Yannick Jadot (4.7%), Jean Lasalle (3%), Fabien Rouselle (2.4%), Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (2.1 %), Anne Hidalgo (1.7%), Philippe Poutou (0.8%) and Nathalie Arthaud (0.6%).

Invariably given at the top of voting intentions for many months, Emmanuel Macron did not finally see his erosion in the polls cost him first place.

Back in infographics on an election evening which immortalized the rout of the Socialist Party (Anne Hidaldo) and the Republicans (Valérie Pécresse) and ended around 11:30 p.m. on a small difference in votes between Marine le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

2017, the return match

Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen will meet in the second round as in 2017. The outgoing president came in well ahead of the first with 27.6% of the vote, according to the latest estimates.

It is doing better than five years ago (24%).

The candidate of the National Rally Marine Le Pen, meanwhile, again ranked second with around 23% of the vote.

She also did better than during the previous presidential election where she obtained 21.3%.

It is the third time that the far right has reached the second round of a presidential election in France, after her father and former leader of the National Front Jean-Marie Le Pen in 2002, then herself, already five years ago. years.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the third man

Like five years ago, the rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon missed second place by a few points.

Thanks to the upward momentum of recent weeks, he ranks third around 22.2%, a result substantially identical to that of five years ago when he finished fourth with 19.6% of the vote.

If the small gap is confirmed, between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen, Fabien Roussel and the other left-wing candidates would indeed have mortgaged the possibility of a second round for this now traditional third man.

The traditional parties in disarray

This first round was marked by the rout of the traditional parties of the right and the left with historically low results.

LR candidate Valérie Pécresse plummeted to find herself below the 5% mark, the threshold for reimbursement of campaign expenses.

Five years ago, François Fillon had reached 20%.

As for the socialist Anne Hidalgo, she only obtained less than 2% of the vote, three times less than Benoît Hamon in 2017 who had already plunged to 6.3%, then considered a total crash.

Disappointment also for environmentalists who find themselves around the 5% mark with Yannick Jadot.

It should be noted that at the time of writing these lines, the results are being refined and that the number of votes is changing for the three leading candidates in this first round (Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon) at the point that some polling institutes no longer gave new estimates and that experts invited on set on BFMTV ensured that nothing was played.

A strong abstention

Abstention was feared, given the lack of interest in the presidential election long expressed by the French in opinion polls.

It finally stood between 26% and 28.3%, i.e. between four and six points more than in 2017, according to estimates.

It is approaching the level of April 21, 2002, a record year with abstention which had reached 28.4%.

It is however less strong than during the Bérézina of the regional and departmental ones a year ago, with two thirds of the voters who had not voted.

Abstention has been on an upward trend since the 2007 presidential election when it was limited to 16.23%.

It rose to 20.52% in 2012 and reached 22.23% in 2017.
