00:00The balance of power is still in favour of the National Rally.

00:04With its allies the Republicans led by Éric Ciotti, the far-right party is expected to

00:08bank 34% of the votes, which would grant them a maximum of 282 seats in the lower house.

00:15A figure that's below the absolute majority, but much higher than the number of seats they

00:20held in the National Assembly.

00:22Right before the dissolution, the National Rally only had 88 seats.

00:27Runner-up, the new popular front, the Leftist Alliance, whose popularity keeps on growing,

00:32reaching 29% so far.

00:3689% of those who intend to vote for them say they won't change their mind.

00:40The party currently in power, Emmanuel Macron's Renewal, is in third position of the polls

00:45with 22% of the votes.

00:47Now factions from across the political spectrum only have a little over a week left to convince

00:53French voters.
