New Poll Shows Le Pen Leading in France's 2027 Presidential Race
Listen to the story
A new poll is out about France's next presidential election. The election will happen in 2027.
The poll shows Marine Le Pen is still far in front of other people. She is a well-known candidate from the far right.
Édouard Philippe is in a strong position too. He was once France's prime minister.
David Lisnard is close behind Philippe. He is the mayor of a French city called Cannes.
The poll also talks about Teddy Riner. He is a famous French judo champion. His name is now part of political talk. People say his popularity is changing things on the right and in the center.
The poll has some surprises too. Gabriel Attal, a former prime minister, is behind Natacha Polony, a journalist, in the ranking.
This poll is only one measure. It shows what people think today. It does not predict the final result in 2027.
