Who will win in France elections

Five favorites of the presidential campaign in France-(from left to right) Francois Fiion (“Republicans”), Emmanuel Macron (“Forward!”), Jean-Luke Melanshon (“Unconquered France”), Marine Le Pen (“National Front”) and Benoit Amon (Social Party). Telebate is a rare case when they could not only argue and blame each other of all mortal sins, but also to do, demonstrating goodwill, group photos. To some of them and it, perhaps, brought several additional election glasses, to someone-on the contrary ... When this number The New Times will come to the readers, it will probably already become known which of them won the first round (April 23) and went to the second (May 7), which decisive. Until the day of the election day, all of them, with the exception of Amon, shared only 5-6 percentage points of the rating - from 18 to 24. And potentially they all had a chance to go to the second round. Nobody took an accurate forecast. The press and sociologists were lost in conjectures and were ready for any surprises, especially given the fact that more than 40% of voters to the last hesitated with preferences. Only after all, this is - real elections.
