France 2027 presidential candidates in the polls
France elects its president in two rounds: the first on 18 April 2027 and, unless one candidate wins an outright majority, a run-off between the top two on 2 May 2027. Emmanuel Macron cannot stand again after two terms, so the race is open. Below is the Sondagio first-round average as of , in the scenario tested by the most pollsters (Édouard Philippe as the only candidate of the centrist bloc). No candidacy is official yet: the Constitutional Council publishes the list of candidates a few weeks before the vote.

How we calculate
- Average: the latest poll from each of the 7 pollsters in the reference scenario, from the methodology notices French pollsters must file with the Commission des sondages, the official poll regulator. Each candidate page lists every poll with a link to its notice.
- Poll ban: French law forbids publishing or commenting on polls on the day before and the day of each round, so these pages are frozen during those windows.
- Independence: Sondagio's founder has no ties to any candidate or campaign. The averages are calculated by formula from every published poll; no figures are adjusted by hand.
