Indeed, the latest polls revealed that only 2 points separate the contenders in the first round (26% against 24%), the same difference as for the second electoral round (51% against 49%).
For his part, the leader of the radical left, Jean-Luc Mélenchonalso recorded a spectacular rise, between 17 and 18%.
Mélenchon and the ecologist Yannick Jadot, To whom the polls assign about 5% of the votes, they were the only ones who were seen in public today, discreetly attending the only allowed activity, the “March for the Future” in Paris, among environmentalists, anti-racists and feminists.
The polling stations, for the 48.7 million voters, will open this Sunday at 8 a.m. (local time), and will close at 7 p.m. in most of the country, at 8 p.m. in large cities, including Paris. From that moment on, the media will give exit polls and projections until the figures are outlined for the next one on April 24.
Paralyzed first by Covid-19, and then by the conflict in Ukraine, the electoral campaign unfolded in unexpected ways: little or nothing of the great issues that have dominated in recent years, starting with global warming -practically ignored- and space on the purchasing power of the French.

In a climate of great tension, uncertainty also grows, between the abstentionism and a very high share of undecided: 32%, according to the Ipsos institute, are still not sure of their choice, while other analysts said that one voter in two could change their mind.
