Presidential 2022: the left at the lowest in the polls – LCI

27.5% of the voting intentions in the first round, for all the seven left-wing personalities who are now candidates for the presidential election. This is very little, compared to the 24% credited to Emmanuel Macron, 18% to Marine Le Pen, 15% to Xavier Bertrand and 12% to Eric Zemmour, in the latest Ifop Fiducial barometer for LCI and Le Figaro published October 4.

In a scenario where Eric Zemmour and Xavier Bertrand would be candidates, the voting intentions for the ecologist Yannick Jadot are 8% (+0.5), those for the leader of La France rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon 7% (- 2). They stand at 5.5% (-1.5) for the PS candidate Anne Hidalgo and 3.5% for Arnaud Montebourg, the PCF candidate Fabien Roussel standing at 2%.

“What marks is how weak the left is – 27, 28% according to our survey“, analyzed Frédéric Dabi, general manager opinion of Ifop, on LCI. “We are at a historically low low. When we take one of the worst, which was 2007, we were around 30%. That says a lot about the dislocation of the left.”

However, this poll does not seem to worry socialist and environmental leaders. “It is not possible to be riveted on polls all the time”, said on franceinfo the First Secretary of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure. “If you want us to stop immediately, we can also say in October that the best placed in the polls, it is he who won.” Yet even within the PS, the candidacy of Anne Hidalgo, disappeared from the radar since her speech in Rouen and her proposal to double the salaries of teachers, worries. A PS executive quoted by The Parisian indicates: “It’s the industrial accident! There is no campaign, no campaign leadership, no campaign act!”

Monday evening on LCI, the environmentalist and deputy of Anne Hidalgo David Belliard acknowledged that “the left and the ecologists are very weak today”. “We need a project that is a breakthrough project (…) and a dynamic. It must go through discussions between us, perhaps also through reconciliations. standard is to discuss together and see if we can end up with a project which is a common project. ”

A common project led by Yannick Jadot, the only one to grab a few points in this new barometer and to position himself as the leader of the left by overtaking Jean-Luc Mélenchon? “We have to look at the dynamics, the projects. (…) ‘We will have to discuss with Yannick Jadot’, Olivier Faure and Carole Delga tell us., said David Belliard. “I have always had the idea of ​​a coalition that mixes environmentalists and socialists, so if we can agree why not. (…) I have always said: I prefer to the presidential election there is a candidate common to socialists and environmentalists “, recognized Olivier Faure on franceinfo, specifying all the same that “the dream team today I have the impression that it is around Anne Hidalgo”.
