PARIS (Reuters) - Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has lost support in the race for head of the conservative party and could miss the landslide victory that would guarantee his party's nomination for the 2017 presidential election, a poll showed.

Sarkozy, who lost his bid for a second mandate in 2012 to Socialist President Francois Hollande, made his comeback when he announced in September he would seek to be elected party chief on Nov. 29.
