French far-right leader Marine Le Pen secures backing to run as presidential candidate

Other recent polls put Hollande’s support at 28-29 percent and Sarkozy at
27-28 percent for the first round, with Le Pen at around 16 percent, having
lost several points in recent weeks. Centrist Francois Bayrou ranks fourth
with 12 percent.

In January, Le Pen was just a couple of percentage points behind Sarkozy in
polls, reviving memories of the 2002 election when her father made it into a
second-round presidential vote against Jacques Chirac. That year, Jean-Marie
Le Pen also obtained his 500th signature just before the deadline.
