Bloomberg French Poll of Polls: Le Pen’s Far Right Inches Higher

Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally has increased its lead slightly just nine days away from the first round of France’s snap legislative election, according to Bloomberg’s poll of polls.

The party is on 33.9% in Bloomberg’s composite. A leftist alliance, called the New Popular Front, is second on 27.4%. The coalition, which brings together Socialists, Communists, Greens and the far-left France Unbowed, is detailing its spending plans on Friday.
