The election takes place within an already very open field. More than 30 figures have made known their intention to succeed Emmanuel Macron, who will leave office next May.
Asked on Thursday, November 12, Bruno Le Maire said:"I have no idea."He presented a platform"for another France.".
Only 10% say they favor a candidacy by the former minister. One percent of respondents did not express an opinion.
The poll is based on 982 people registered on the electoral rolls, drawn from a sample of 1,017 people representative of the French population aged 18 and over.
These results should be read with the margins of uncertainty indicated for the survey: from 1.4 to 3.1 points at most for a sample of about 1,000 respondents.
In the same survey, the other names tested are also rejected. Respondents do not appear to want to add yet another contender to the list of candidates for the Élysée.
The rejection measured for Bruno Le Maire thus fits into a broader refusal to further expand the number of candidacies already announced for 2027.
