| Description | Emmanuel Macron has suffered a backlash in the polls after a "blatant" vote-grabbing stunt backfired. The French President, who insists he is not yet campaigning for next year's elections, invited two YouTuber influencers called Carlito and McFly into the Elysée Palace for an "entertainment special". However, Rym Momtaz, the Paris correspondent for Politico, told France24 the stunt backfired after coming off too "blatantly" as an attempt to appeal to young voters.

A poll last month saw 25 to 34-year-olds lean heavily towards Marine Le Pen in next year's presidential election.
The leader of the far-right National Rally is set to win the first round of voting when France heads to the polls next year, according to a survey by French Institute of Public Opinion for Le Figaro. |
