Facing Jordan Bardella, the popularity match turns to Gabriel Attal’s advantage

Less than a month before the European elections, Jordan Bardella is trying to maintain his ultra-favorite status. Well ahead of the poll, with 31.5% voting intentions according to the latest wave of the daily Ifop-Fiducial “rolling” for Le Figaro, the president of the RN is gradually making his mark on public opinion. Marine Le Pen's runner-up even manages to match the popularity (42%) of the double finalist in the presidential election, as revealed by an Odoxa-Backbone Consulting survey for Le Figaro this Friday.

The nationalist especially bends the match to the right, where he is well ahead of the bosses of LR and Reconquête!, Éric Ciotti (22%) and Éric Zemmour (19%), as well as the putative candidate of the Republicans for 2027, Laurent Wauquiez (27 %). It must be said that the lepéniste can count on his good image among popular categories (46%) as in France's medium-sized and provincial towns (50%). In his rise, the MEP also succeeds in attracting groups traditionally more hostile to the RN vote, such as the “CSP” (38%), urban residents (40%) and especially seniors (42%). A reserve of votes which illustrates the transformation of the electoral sociology of the nationalist party.

On the other hand, the political future of Jordan Bardella on the national scene still remains to be written according to the French. While some believe he has a presidential destiny, two thirds of those surveyed (66%) do not imagine him one day reaching the Élysée. They are not more convinced (57%) by his possible promotion to the post of prime minister, although promised by Marine Le Pen if she is elected in 2027.

At only 28 years old, Jordan Bardella can nevertheless ride on his youth, an asset praised by more than half of the country (52%). Especially against Gabriel Attal, 34, whom he should soon face during a televised debate. “The Prime Minister is often perceived as the only political adversary capable of destabilizing Jordan Bardella,” comments Véronique Reille Soult, president of Backbone Consulting. To the point that a duel between the two men is the most anticipated and talked about European event.”

Even reinforced by good polls, Jordan Bardella is currently struggling to dethrone the head of government in terms of popularity. More than half of French people (57%) have a better opinion of Gabriel Attal than of the boss of the RN. Including in the ranks of LR, where 72% of supporters far prefer the young Macronist wolf to his nationalist opponent.

Faced with the lepenist, Gabriel Attal is notably judged to be more “competent” (56% against 39%), inspiring more confidence (54% against 41%) and best assuming the stature of a statesman (54% against 41% ). Even if the duel is closer, the Prime Minister is also ahead of his opponent on charisma (49% against 47%), dynamism (48% against 47%) and authority (49% against 47%). Accustomed to crowd baths and waterfall selfies, Jordan Bardella nevertheless managed to win on two criteria: his proximity to the French (48% against 47%) and his “unifying” side (53% against 43%).
