High turnout should favor candidates who have the highest potental for progression, i.e. Macron and Mélenchon (the indecisiveness came from left-wing and particularly former PS voters).

The turnout increase isn't that massive its looking like 80% thats a small increase on the last presidential election and unlikely to make any difference for Melenchon. Macron vs Fillon is the contest and I think the huge number of undecided voters will swing more behind Fillon than Macron for various reasons. | ||

Talking about the difference between polls and the election, not 2012 and 2017. That's ~3 millions of extra votes. | ||

Of course I could be completely wrong. It's just an intuition. | ||

And Zaros, here's some support for your theory: French polling companies use quotas to get a supposedly representative sample of the population. There's no reason for them not to reach Le Pen voters. | ||

The point is that polls were pretty accurate about the FN's score at the 2014 European elections, and that they actually overestimated the FN's score at the 2015 élections départementales ("county-level elections", I guess ?). Thus if there's a flaw in their quotas concerning the FN, it's most likely not in favor of not reaching the FN's voters. | ||

Does the FN vote share even matter, I think Le Pen has enough of a lead to get to the final 2 short of a polling disaster, the contest is who gets the 2nd place next to Le Pen in the final round. Fillon, Macron or Melechon? | ||

On the last polls we had on hand, Le Pen didn't have any lead on anyone ; in fact she was most of the times second behind Macron, and within reach of Fillon and Mélenchon if you account for the confidence interval. http://dataviz.ifop.com:8080/HNS/HNSAdmin/start.appli?appid=60930&logonUser=USERWEB&logonPswcd=ZnJhbmNvaXNF | ||

Pollsters could have problems this time if results are close, they may not know right away. In 2012 some estimations were wrong by up to 1.5%, so obviously in a close 4-way match this could be problematic. Voting stops at 19:00, except in a few big cities where it stops at 20:00. | ||

- There's no exit poll this year, at least from French companies. - If some foreign polling companies have exit polls, they will probably not be reliable. - Voting stops at 19:00 CEST so there should not be first estimations available in foreign medias before 19:30 (maybe in Belgium?). 20:00 - 20:30 for French estimations. May the Force be with us | ||

Well, Trump is talking different things about the EU now, but it wasn't too long ago he was talking bad about the EU. Who knows what's truth. | ||
