France's far-right National Assembly party still leads the election  - 1

For the French far-right party “National Assembly“ and its partners has the most intentions to vote in the first round of early parliamentary elections in the country, which will be held on June 30 - 35.5% of the vote, according to an opinion poll published today, cited by Reuters.< /strong>

The “Ipsos“ for the French in. “Parisien“ and National Radio, held on June 19 and 20, ranked the left-wing coalition "New People's Front" (NNF) in second place with 29.5% of the votes. The centrist bloc around the party of President Emmanuel Macron "Renaissance" is in third place, enjoying the support of 19.5% of voters.

The voter turnout is expected to be between 60 and 64%, which will be significantly higher than the 47.5% registered in the previous parliamentary elections in June 2022, according to Reuters.

The advantage of the “National Assembly” in opinion polls before the elections, which will be held in two rounds - on June 30 and July 7 - is unlikely to give the party an absolute parliamentary majority. Macron called the election after his union's crushing defeat in European Parliament elections earlier this month, Reuters recalls.

In a separate study by “Ipsos”, published by the British “Financial Times”, “The National Assembly“ is considered the most reliable when it comes to managing the economy and public finances. According to the survey, 25% of respondents trust the "National Assembly" for making the right decisions on economic issues versus 22% for the NNF and 20% for Macron's centrist alliance.
