RN Leads Fresh Polls as Bardella Courts LR, Retailleau Rejects Pact

Macron faces pressure to dissolve the National Assembly following Lecornu’s resignation.

Overview

  • An OpinionWay poll for CNews places the Rassemblement National at 33–34% in hypothetical first‑round legislative voting, with the centrist bloc at 14–16% and Les Républicains at about 12–13%.
  • A Toluna Harris Interactive survey for RTL shows the RN leading a first round of a presidential race with 34–35% whether led by Jordan Bardella or Marine Le Pen, ahead of Édouard Philippe at 15–16% and Gabriel Attal at 12%.
  • On the left, Jean‑Luc Mélenchon polls around 14% and Raphaël Glucksmann registers 12–14% depending on scenarios, underscoring continuing fragmentation.
  • Bardella says he is prepared to strike a government agreement with segments of LR only if he falls short of the 289 seats needed for an absolute majority.
  • LR leader Bruno Retailleau publicly rejects a formal pact with the RN even as debate intensifies over early elections and the RN reiterates its call for dissolution.
