A survey by Odoxa for Le Figaro, conducted on the occasion of the first large‑scale presidential debates organized by Medef at Roland-Garros, showed that Marine Le Pen and Edouard Philippe are considered the most convincing candidates on economic issues in the 2027 presidential elections. The RN candidate leads on all economic indicators, almost on par with the former prime minister.
The economy, which was seen as one of Marine Le Pen’s weak points during the last two presidential campaigns, could now be her advantage. Eight months before the vote, 36% of French people say the RN candidate would implement good economic policy if elected, according to the Odoxa‑Backbone survey for Le Figaro. She is almost tied with Edouard Philippe, who scores 35%, the gap falling within the margin of error.
Ratings of Other Candidates
Following in the survey are Bruno Retailleau with 30% and Gabriel Attal with 29%. Raphaël Glucksmann received 23%, while Jean‑Luc Mélenchon and David Lisnard each scored 18%. Marine Tondelier rounds out the list with 13%.
