French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has gained ground on her main election rivals, it has emerged.
Support for Le Pen, head of the anti-immigration National Front, has surged with frontrunner Emmanuel Macron’s lead evaporating according to the Opinionway poll of voting intentions.
But the 48-year-old, who wants to take France out of the European Union, would still lose to Macron and conservative Francois Fillon in the May 7 run-off for the presidency, the poll showed.
