PARIS (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande is seen winning primaries run by his Socialist Party and other left-wing groups, but is unlikely to win the 2017 presidential election, a poll showed on Monday.

The survey by Elabe pollsters was the first since his Socialist Party (PS) on Saturday decided to go ahead with the primaries in an effort to boost support for Hollande, who is the most unpopular French president in polling history.
