Now that we are all wary of opinion polls this may only be of passing interest, but the independent candidate for the presidency is the preferred choice of most French voters.
Latest sondage gives Emmanuel Macron 48%, Francois Fillon 44% and Manuel Valls and Marine le Pen equal on 24%.
Macron is a former economy minister in Hollande's government, but is considered too economically liberal by most left voters. But given his fairly liberal social views as well he may appeal to centre left and right alike.
