“... today’s IFOP poll of the candidate likely to make the best president of France is headed by Mr Sarkozy on 61%, 10 points up on last month. Mr Villepin is on 53%, and the leading Socialist, Jack Lang, on 45%.”
Somebody explain this to me, please? Is it a case of “vote early, vote often”, as the Irish used to say? The single transferable vote? Too much Volnay with lunch?
And they haven’t even added in Jean-Marie yet.

In my opinion Sarkozy now is so popular in France because the rioters repeatedly demanded his resignation, a kind of polarisation (not mentioned in the The Guardian article).
