| Description | President Nicolas Sarkozy faces an unprecedented humiliation in the French presidential election which will take place in almost exactly 12 months' time, according to new polls.
If the election were held today, almost whatever the match-up of candidates, Mr Sarkozy would become the first sitting President of the Fifth Republic to be eliminated in the first round.
The latest polls also suggest that the resurgence of the far-right National Front under Marine Le Pen is not a passing phenomenon.
In the first round, almost certain to be held on 24 April 2012, Ms Le Pen could easily match, or even exceed, the achievement of her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who came second in the first round on 21 April 2002. |
