PARIS (Reuters) - Support for President Emmanuel Macron rose to its highest yet in polling intentions for the first round of France's presidential election, boosted by his role in the Ukraine crisis, according to a poll published on Monday.

Macron gained two points in the IFOP poll for Paris Match, rising to 28%, the highest level since the start of the rolling poll. It comes less than two months before the election's first round on April 10.
