French presidential election race narrows further as shock poll shows tidal wave of support for far-Right candidate Marine Le Pen among young voters as Macron battles to remain in power in tomorrow's showdown Shock YouGov poll suggests 56% of voters aged 18 to 24 will back Marine Le Pen The far-Right candidate has gained popularity for campaigning on cost of living She also has strong views on immigration, the French national identity and Islam By Jessica Warren For Mailonline Published: 14:10 EDT, 9 April 2022 \| Updated: 04:01 EDT, 10 April 2022 France's presidential election race has narrowed even further as a shock poll found that most young people are planning to back far-Right candidate Marine Le Pen over Emmanuel Macron. A new YouGov survey this week shows that more than half (56 per cent) of voters aged 18 to 24 would back Le Pen, whose National Rally party has vowed to clampdown on immigration, reassert France's national identity and fine Muslims who wear headscarves in public. Other polls project Le Pen taking 47 per cent of the vote to Macron's 53 among the general population — a much closer gap than when the President beat her in the election five years ago. Just last month, Macron appeared all but certain to become the first French leader to win re-election since Jacques Chirac in 2002. But the polls have narrowed sharply in the past two weeks — a development which he has tried to blame on the war in Ukraine. Le Pen's campaign has been mired by allegations of racism spread by Macron, and this week hit out at the President's 'extremely outrageous' and 'very aggressive' claims. Experts claim a victory for Le Pen would be a victory for the forces of nativism and Right-wing populism in France, and send a political shockwave across Europe and the global financial markets.
