French poll: Centrist Macron leading Le Pen in election vote

A new poll in France shows centrist independent candidate Emmanuel Macron trouncing far-right leader Marine Le Pen in the second round of voting for the country’s new president.

According to the poll, Marcron would pull in 65% of the vote, while the National Front leader would win just 35%, Walla says. Le Pen is expected to win the first round against Macron and conservative candidate Francois Fillon, a former favorite who has seen his own prospects disappear in the wake of corruption allegations.

The report does not specify how many people were polled or the margin of error.
