RN Inserts Le Pen Into Poll That Tested Only Bardella, as New Surveys Put Him Out Front for 2027

Reporters say the Odoxa survey measured Bardella alone because of legal uncertainty around Marine Le Pen’s candidacy.

Overview

  • RN posted X visuals pairing Marine Le Pen with Jordan Bardella and claiming a jointly endorsed “alternance,” despite the poll having assessed Bardella only.
  • In Odoxa-Mascaret’s second-round matchups, Bardella is reported at 74% versus Jean‑Luc Mélenchon, 58% versus Raphaël Glucksmann, 56% versus Gabriel Attal, and 53% versus Édouard Philippe, with Le Pen not tested.
  • A separate Verian poll for L’Hémicycle places Bardella at roughly 35.5%–36.5% in first‑round voting intentions, far ahead of Philippe (16.5%–17%) and Glucksmann (11.5%–13%).
  • Odoxa and commentators cite Le Pen’s pending appeal in the European Parliament assistants case and her current ineligibility ruling to explain why pollsters are testing Bardella.
  • Coverage notes unusually high shares of undecided or non‑respondents in the Odoxa polling and stresses that these surveys are snapshots rather than predictions.
