French President
Emmanuel Macron's party is expected to win the most votes in the first
round of June's parliamentary election, a poll showed on Tuesday which
reinforced the similar pattern of previous surveys this week.
The
Ipsos/Sopra Steria poll for France Television and France Radio said
Macron's start-up Republic on the Move (LREM) party and its MoDem
partner would get 29.5 percent of votes in the first round of the lower
house parliamentary election.
The
conservative Republicans and their partners in the UDI party were
expected to get 22 percent, while the far-right National Front (FN) was
seen in third on 18 percent.
The
Ipsos/Sopra Steria poll showed the same picture as two earlier surveys
this week which also showed Macron's party coming out on top in the
parliament elections, which take place in two rounds on June 11 and June
18.
