2027 presidential election: despite skepticism, Teddy Riner's candidacy could weaken the center and the PS

The surprise candidacy of star judoka Teddy Riner has not aroused particular enthusiasm at this stage and above all seems to further disturb the game within the vast central current, according to an Odoxa-Backbone survey for Le Figaro revealed on Thursday. Only 42% of French people believe that the five-time Olympic champion is right to launch the race for the Élysée. But at the same time, 78% believe that the current political offer is not satisfactory given the multiplicity of contenders. Despite the thirty potential or declared candidates, 46% of respondents still do not name any names, i.e. 2 points more than in July, reflecting a significant confusion five months before the election.
