The party is on 33.9% in Bloomberg’s composite. A leftist alliance, called the New Popular Front, is second on 27.4%. The coalition, which brings together Socialists, Communists, Greens and the far-left France Unbowed, is detailing its spending plans on Friday.

Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party and its allies have caught up slightly to 20.6%, though they still lag behind in third place.

Macron dissolved the National Assembly earlier this month and called a snap legislative vote after his group was trounced in European Parliament elections. A separate poll by Ifop-Fiducial for Sud Radio on Friday showed 38% of participants want the National Rally to win.
