PARIS (Reuters) - Centrist Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen still hold a firm lead over the pack in France's presidential election, polls show, with a surging left-winger becoming a wild card in the race.
An Opinionway poll on Thursday showed Le Pen and Macron taking 25 and 24 percent of the first round vote respectively, with the ex-banker beating the National Front leader by 60 to her 40 percent in the runoff - a scenario largely unchanged in polls since mid-February.
