Emmanuel Macron is poised to win the first round of France’s presidential election on April 10 but his lead over far-right candidate Marine Le Pen continues to narrow, according to a poll published on Sunday.

Support for Macron stood at 27%, down from 29.5% in a similar survey two weeks earlier. Le Pen placed second at 22%, up 3.5 points, based on an Ifop survey of voting intentions for the Journal du Dimanche.
