PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron's party moved back ahead of Marine Le Pen's far-right party in a poll of voting intentions for the May 2019 European parliament elections, the latest survey showing signs of a rebound in Macron's popularity.

An Ifop poll published on Wednesday showed Macron's centrist movement with 23 percent of voting intentions compared to 18 percent in the last poll in early December while Le Pen's Rassemblement National (National Rally, or RN) -- formerly the National Front -- fell to 21 percent from 24 percent previously.
