 | Sujet: 10/17/2006 : Royal leads Sarkozy in French presidential poll  Mer 18 Oct - 23:25 | |
| Royal leads Sarkozy in French presidential poll The socialist Segolene Royal has increased her lead over his rival, the current interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy by two points, according to a poll published on Monday.
Royal would defeat Sarkozy, head of the ruling Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) by 51 percent to 49 in a runoff, the poll for the French daily Le Figaro showed on Monday.
If Prime Minister Dominqiue de Villepin was standing instead of Sarkozy, he would be beaten by Royal in the election's decisive second round by 60 percent to 40, while Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie would get only 37 percent.
According to the poll, Villepin and Alliot-Marie would get just 5 percent of the ballots if they were to run in a first round alongside Sarkozy, who would get about 30 percent of the votes.
The poll did not feature a runoff between Royal, 53, and Chirac, 73. The French president is set to announce whether he will seek a third term in the first quarter of next year.  Source : http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2401912,00.html | |
