Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen among the many fifty favourite personalities of the French, respectively at 4e and the 7e place, and for the primary time accompanied… by Marion Maréchal (30e) and Philippe de Villiers (37e), each of which made their entry into the rating. Followed, in a “Top 7 politicians”, by Nicolas Sarkozy, Eric Zemmour and Sarah Knafo, who’re forward of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
This is what the barometer produced for The Sunday Journal (The JDD), on January 4. “For those who doubted it, France leans strongly to the right”writes the weekly, with out specifying that this survey is carried out with the CSA polling institute, owned by the Havas group, itself majority managed by Vincent Bolloré. CSA, whose thematic polls commissioned by the CNews channel now represent the majority of its exercise, has discreetly taken over from the IFOP, the weekly’s historic associate since February 1988.
