Almost one in three voters (34%) say they are undecided about their vote nine days before the presidential election, according to an exclusive survey by the Odoxa institute for franceinfo unveiled this Friday, April 14. This represents a record level of uncertainty compared to previous elections, even though the certainty level has improved by 11 points in the past twenty days.
In fact, 44% of potential voters for Benoît Hamon, the Socialist candidate, declare they might still change their minds by the first round on April 23 and eventually vote for another candidate. This is also the case for 34% of potential voters for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the candidate of La France insoumise, and, to a lesser extent, for those of En Marche!, Emmanuel Macron’s movement (23%).
Moreover, Socialist sympathizers appear to be the most undecided, with 43% of them not yet sure of their choice, which is 11 points higher than the national average.
The most convinced potential voters are still those of Marine Le Pen: 87% of French people considering voting for the FN candidate say they have chosen her with certainty. François Fillon also has potential voters who are very sure of their choice (80%).
