Almost one in two French people believe that Marine Le Pen has the necessary qualities to be president

Four years before the 2027 presidential elections, the image of Marine Le Pen, president of the RN group in the National Assembly, continues to improve, according to the conclusions of a survey by Elabe for BFMTV published this Thursday. Nearly one in two respondents now believe she is capable of “uniting the French” (47%) and “has the necessary qualities to be president” (48%).

If 71% of French people still consider her “authoritarian” and 51% declare themselves “concerned”, the majority of those surveyed also believe that the far-right deputy is “brave” (67%), “dynamic” (66 %) and “he really wants to change things” (61%).

“Marine Le Pen’s image is improving in most sectors of the population, and especially among retirees,” underlines Elabe. 69% of them consider it “dynamic”, compared to 51% of young people between 18 and 24 years old.

“The country will be more divided than today”

Of the total population, 32% of those surveyed consider that Marine Le Pen would obtain better results than Emmanuel Macron in the Elysee. “This opinion “is increasing mainly among retirees (33%, +13) and among French people who have difficulty making ends meet (40%, +13),” says Elabe.

However, the French surveyed only trust Marine Le Pen “to lead a good policy” on security (58%) and immigration (55%).

In all other areas analyzed, respondents do not trust him in matters of education (51%), health (53%), purchasing power (54%), environment and ecology (63%) or the management of the crisis in Ukraine (64%). .

Furthermore, 60% of French people believe that if Marine Le Pen and the National Rally come to power, “the country will be more divided than today.” More than one in two respondents (55%) also believe that “this would damage France’s international image.”
