With less than three weeks to go before the first round, Macron faces opposition alliances crystallising on the left and right and warnings that his gambit to dissolve the National Assembly and call for snap elections could backfire. A Harris Interactive-Toluna poll published on Monday suggested just 19 percent of people would back him, compared to 34 percent for the far-right National Rally. As French opposition parties on the left and right seek alliances, and Macron camp weighs fallout of election gamble, FRANCE 24’s Nadia Massih is joined by fellow reporters Clovis Casali and Claire Paccalin and guest analyst Renaud Foucart, Economist and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Lancaster University Management School.
