quote [ The pair are set to face-off on 7 May but it is the centrist Emmanuel Macron who is favourite.
The centrist Emmanuel Macron will face far-right leader Marine Le Pen in a run-off for the French presidency on 7 May, multiple projections indicate. An Ipsos/Sopra Steria poll puts Mr Macron on 23.7% in first-round voting with Ms Le Pen on 21.7%. Opinion polls have consistently predicted Mr Macron defeating his rival in the run-off. The two fought off a strong challenge from centre-right François Fillon and hard-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon. ] Europe gets to continue holding its breath, for another couple of weeks, at least.

Le Pen was expected to do much better than this so I guess this is good news.

not sure where your info comes from. I was not expecting her above 25% at the first round as she is basically like her father (with two working eyes and less nuts) and he was at 12-13% (sometimes up to 18% with wind factor).

just because in France a president cannot be leader of a political party. she's trying to get a presidential stature.
