Overview
- Paris remains too close to call, with Emmanuel Grégoire marginally ahead of Rachida Dati in first‑round surveys as Sarah Knafo gains ground, a five‑way second round is being mooted, and Dati publicly rejects Reconquête’s proposed list fusion.
- In Marseille, the latest Ifop‑Fiducial snapshot puts Benoît Payan at 35% and RN’s Franck Allisio at 32%, while in Nice Eric Ciotti is measured well ahead of incumbent Christian Estrosi in first‑round intentions.
- Lyon polls show Jean‑Michel Aulas leading clearly over Green mayor Grégory Doucet, and Toulouse is shaping into a three‑way second round between Jean‑Luc Moudenc, François Briançon and François Piquemal.
- A new Cluster17 poll for Politico in Lille places PS mayor Arnaud Deslandes at 26% ahead of Stéphane Baly and Lahouaria Addouche at 19% each, highlighting decisive list‑fusion choices, while Bordeaux tightens between Pierre Hurmic and Thomas Cazenave and Le Havre surveys show Édouard Philippe only slightly ahead.
- The campaign’s closing days feature rising hostility with threats, complaints and scrapped debates reported in several cities, as public security and video‑surveillance remain central issues for many slates.
