Marine Le Pen absent from the second round, a first since March 2017

This poll also marks the first survey of this presidential campaign which sees the RN candidate Marine Le Pen absent from the second round.

To find traces of a poll presaging a second round of a presidential election without Marine Le Pen, we must go back to March 2, 2017.

At the time, in the midst of the Fillon affair, an Odoxa poll had imagined a replacement of the LR candidate by Alain Juppé. He obtained 26.5% of the voting intentions, ahead of Emmanuel Macron at 25%. Marine Le Pen took third place with 24%.
