Within a month, the percentage of French people who want Marine Le Pen to run for President has increased by 7%, despite the court's decision to jail the leader of the National Front for 4 years after she was convicted of embezzlement of public funds.
Almost one in two French people (49%) want Marine Le Pen to run in the next presidential election, according to an Ifop-Fiducial poll for Sud Radio, conducted following her conviction in a case involving aides to MEPs.
At the same time, 51% of respondents do not want the National Front leader to be able to run for the Elysée presidency, 7% less than a previous poll conducted at the end of February.
However, according to the same poll, only 37% of French people believe that Marine Le Pen will finally be able to stand as a candidate, a percentage reduced by 37 points in a month. Only those who say they support the National Front (69%) believe that their party's candidate will be able to stand as a candidate in the next election.
The vast majority (79%) of respondents consider Marine Le Pen to belong to the far right.
The poll was conducted online on April 1 and 2 among a representative sample of the French population of 1,000 people aged 18 and over. The margin of error is 2.8 to 3.1 points. (A2 Televizion)
