France's snap elections of June 30 and July 7 are stirring up an enormous amount of interest, mixed with confusion, fear and hope. The far-right bloc, strengthened by the European elections, looks set to gather the most votes, ahead of the left-wing parties united in the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP), with a weakened Macron-aligned bloc trailing in third place. With three days to go before the first round of elections, this is how the vote is roughly shaping up, according to the sixth edition of the electoral survey conducted by the Ipsos polling institute for Le Monde, the Cevipof political research center, the Fondation Jean Jaurès, the Institut Montaigne, Radio France, and France Télévisions.

This survey, which was carried out online using the quota sampling method on a large sample of 11,820 people, selected to be representative of the French electorate, promises high voter turnout. Around 61% to 65% of respondents to our survey said they plan to go to the polls on Sunday, well above the 47.5% turnout that was recorded for the previous legislative elections, two years ago. French voters appear engaged in this election, which was called by President Emmanuel Macron on June 9 following European elections in which his coalition garnered just 14.6% of the vote.
