President Emmanuel Macron’s group would get 18% if left-wing parties form an alliance, or just 16% if they stand independently, the survey by Ifop-Fiducial for LCI, Le Figaro and Sud Radio showed.
The pollster interviewed 1,089 adults online on Monday and Tuesday, with a margin of error of between 1.4 and 3.1 percentage points.
Macron dissolved the National Assembly and called a snap election on Sunday after his party was trounced by the far right in European Parliament elections.
The poll shows an alliance of four left-wing parties picking up 25% of the first-round vote, pushing Macron’s group into third place. If they stand separately, the Socialists do best with 13%.
