President Emmanuel Macron has come under criticism for not acting strongly enough or quickly enough to close down France earlier this year. His political situation is tenuous with the Presidential election looming a year or so from now. The first round voting is next April to be followed two weeks later by the final round involving the top two candidates.
Polling data indicating that Macron's leading challenger Marine Le Pen of the National Rally party will run ahead of her performance in the 2017 election where she got 34 percent of the vote in the final round. Two polls released last month gave her 47 percent in a final round election.
