Why It Matters
Édouard Philippe recorded a drop of 6 points in voting intentions according to an Ifop-Fiducial poll published on October 20.
Since the start of the Élysée competition on the right and in the center, Édouard Philippe is probably the candidate who has recorded the greatest number of rallies.
Although he has benefited from the support of the Minister of Justice, Gérald Darmanin, since mid-August, this support remains very timid. This Tuesday, on BFMTV/RMC, the tenant of the Chancellery estimated that the contender on whom he is banking “is in danger to be in the second round” of the presidential election.
If they are good friends, Gérald Darmanin did not hesitate to drive the point home. “Édouard Philippe is not quite capable of qualifying for the second round, it is a danger for us and for him,” he said, while his candidate is struggling in voting intentions.
Édouard Philippe recorded a drop of 6 points in the space of three weeks according to an Ifop-Fiducial survey for Le Figaro, Sud Radio and LCI, published on October 20.
