In the turmoil of the case of Penelope, François Fillon tumbles in voting intentions
voting intentions in favour of François Fillon collapse because of the case of the alleged ‘ghost’ employees, of his wife, according to a survey Elabe for Les Echos, and Radio Classique released on Wednesday 1st February. This investigation, it will be recalled, gives a snapshot of opinion at a time T, without prejudging the outcome of the election in April, and is significant of the movement of opinion in the face of two news items : the case of Fillon and the victory of Benoît Hamon in the second round of the primary to the left.
according To the survey, conducted over the Internet 30 and 31 January with a sample of 1 053 people representative of the French population aged 18 years and older, the candidate of the right, bring him down, in favor of Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, while that of the socialist Party, which was very low in the voting intentions, win 10 points.

The president of the Front national is given an increase of 3 points compared to January, with 26 % to 27 % of voting intentions of those polled.
- Emmanuel Macron and French prime minister François Fillon at the elbow-to-elbow
According to the figures of the poll, Emmanuel Macron, founder of power up !, would happen to second in the election, winning between 22 % and 23 % of the vote, when François Fillon never received more than 19 % to 20 %, depending on whether François Bayrou is the candidate of five to six percentage points lower than in January. It is this fall which is interesting, because if one takes into account the margin of error specific to this investigation, according to the scenarios, Emmanuel Macron may be behind François Fillon at the end of the first lap, like in front of him. The two men compete for the second place.
Another interesting fact, the fall of Mr Fillon is explained by the fact that it unites on its behalf that 56 % to 60 % of the voters of Nicolas Sarkozy in the first round of the last presidential election, 18% to 20 % preferring Emmanuel Macron, and 14 % Marine Le Pen.
Benoît Hamon, the winner of the primary organized by the PS, has seen a leap of 10 to 11 percentage points compared to the beginning of January, to 16-17 %, well ahead of the candidate of France insubordinate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon (10 %, down 3 to 4.5 points).
second round
In the case of a second round between Marine Le Pen and François Fillon, the latter would win with 59 % of the vote.
If the president of the Front national was opposed to Emmanuel Macron, the other candidate Running ! would win with 65 %. Even if one takes into account the margin of error, in both cases, the opponent of Marine Le Pen would win the day.
