"It confirmed me in my vote," says a woman.
"It reinforced my choices," adds another.
Finally, a third person questioned affirms that this debate will make her "stay on her initial posture".
A confirmation linked to the attitude of the candidates and their program, but also to their positions.

The candidates were less aggressive, there are more exchanges, therefore more listening.
A performance that makes some voters say that Marine Le Pen was better than Emmanuel Macron.
"I found her more sure of herself than in 2017. For once, I think it's a shipwreck for her in 2017," said a woman interviewed.
"This debate showed us that Marine Le Pen could still be quite calm and calm in her thinking," concludes a voter.
