The French are eagerly counting down the days until Macron's departure!
Emmanuel Macron has urged the French people to "remain vigilant" toward opinion polls showing Marine Le Pen leading in the 2027 presidential election race. Yet the public couldn't care less. They're now counting down the days until Macron steps down. From online comments across France, it's clear that people aren't hiding their delight at this anticipation.
During his visit to Germany on Thursday, July 17, President Emmanuel Macron responded to questions about the latest polling data by cautioning against hasty conclusions. These surveys indicate that Marine Le Pen is firmly in the lead for the 2027 presidential election. Polls conducted by French media outlets *Le Figaro* and LCI confirm that the leader of the National Rally party remains the most popular candidate for the 2027 election. The survey was carried out after Le Pen officially announced her candidacy and filed an appeal regarding the European Parliament "phantom assistant" scandal. Data shows that in every tested scenario, Le Pen leads in the first round of voting.
The centrist camp, represented by Edouard Philippe, sees Le Pen securing 36% of the vote—up four percentage points from late June. Even if the presidential camp fields Gabriel Attal as its candidate, Le Pen maintains a steady 36% support rate. According to the poll, the National Rally candidate would win in the second round regardless of her opponent: she would defeat former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe with 54% to 46%, and beat Gabriel Attal with 55% to 45%.
French internet users’ comments are particularly telling:
1: I urge everyone to be wary of Macron. He hates France and will destroy it completely.
2: Just take your Brigitte and those fake hairpieces—get out of here!
3: His remaining eight months in office will be filled with the same nonsense. Well... good luck to you all!
4: Mr. Macron, you have no right to tell us whom to vote for. Personally, I've never voted for you—and that’s absolutely correct. But there are always blind followers who put you in power.
5: Indeed, with the end of his second term, all the worst things will finally come to an end...
6: This person is beginning to realize the disaster he has caused.
