Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for predictions! What will be the result of the French election tomorrow? (You can ignore candidates with small scores.)

Here's mine:

Le Pen 23,7
Mélenchon 22,2

Fillon 21,9
Macron 21,8
Hamon 4,1
Dupont-Aignan 3,2
Lassalle 1,1
Asselineau 0,7
Poutou 0,8

Cheminade 0,2

Abstention 21,8%

what a time we're living when the two probably top score can* come from the far-right and the far-left

jesus


the death of the PS is pretty crazy. They poll lower than Die Linke. Shame, I kind of liked Hamon's program

I liked the ecological policies and focus on common goods and the universal basic income is probably at least worth trying out at some point in the future, and he seemed like one of the few candidates that basically is also not deeply skeptical of EU institutions and common EU foreign policy.

He seemed to be more on the "redistributionist" side of politics rather than the class warfare and ownership side that Melenchon is on and I think that makes more sense. The system isn't all that bad, the profits are just badly distributed. I'm more of a fan of the Scandinavian 'flexicurity' system than the heavy national regulations.

I think Switzerland is one of the countries that is best positioned to make UBI work, but even they turned it down as economically infeasible. It would probably be disastrous in France, even though I'd like to see a country try it. Has to be Norway, Switzerland, New Zealand, Denmark or maybe another similarly small and wealthy country.

I'm giving Macron an almost 100% chance of winning at this point, but tomorrow should give us some good indicators as to whether shock results are likely or the polls are looking accurate. Macron and Le Pen to the second round seems like a safe bet for now.

I think it's 50-50 between Macron and Fillion vs Le Pen. Conservative voters always vote for their mainstream candidate. Macron sounds like he has a shot with some of the economically-minded right-wingers, but that type of conservative seems to be on the verge of extinction.

Melenchon may have the momentum, but I can't see the core of the social-democratic party giving up on Hamon completely, so I don't think it is going to be enough. I don't know the French well enough, but my tips are:

Le Pen: 27%
Fillion: 23%
Macron: 22%
Melenchon: 16%
Hamon: 9%

Interesting how little consensus there is about who will rise up to the top. Just goes to show you how many possible ways there is that this could go.

I'll be happy if Le Pen doesn't make it to the second round. It doesn't seem too far fetched; Macron-Fillon, Macron-Mélenchon and Fillon-Mélenchon all seem like plausible outcomes.

Personally, I will be voting for Hamon.
I like words.

538 and many others are calling it too close to call. And indeed, there are five candidates within 6-7pp, multi candidate races seem to be more difficult to assess, and there is a significant number of undecideds.

However, there has been a ton of polling and that has been very consistent.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_French_presidential_election,_2017

Since April 14 the total sum of sample sizes is over 50 000. The margins for major candidates are
Melenchon - 18-19.5
Macron - 23-25
Fillon - 18.5-21
Le Pen - 22-23

These are really small variations. I'm not sure what to think.

The extra decimal in there makes your guess so much more significant!

My money would be on Macron and Le Pen making it through to the runoffs, but the ideological divide is huge. Same story as in the Dutch elections: no clear winner.

I'm guessing Le Pen and FIllon make it to the run off, which then Fillon wins.

The participation rate was 28,54% at 12:00 [it was 28,29% in 2012, for a final participation of 79,48%].

First failure of the polls already, they were banking on a lower participation around 73-74% ...

Okay based on that I'm betting on Le Pen beating Macron in the first round.

Le Pen suffers from high turnout as her voters are the least likely not to vote and mostly very motivated. That's a constant with the Front National and why they do so well in low turnout elections such as european elections.

I think she has enough of a lead to still get to the final 2, but I still think its Fillon that will be facing her not Macron.

Well, let's see what happens. I don't think the polling companies reach Le Pen voters, so I expect her support to be understated.

And Zaros, here's some support for your theory:
