Poll Shows Manuel Valls loosing first round, Opinion poll French presidential election 2017, BVA-Salesforce poll, France presidential election 2017  

Manuel Valls, who launched a bid for France's presidential election on Monday, would not gather enough support to go through to its second round, according to an opinion poll published on Wednesday.

Valls, President Francois Hollande's prime minister since the spring of 2014, quit this week to run for president after Hollande himself decided against seeking a second term.

If Valls were to win the Socialist Party's nomination in a primary contest in January, he would gather only 13 percent of votes in the first round of the presidential election, due to take place on April 23, the BVA-Salesforce poll showed.

But the 21 percent Valls would get in that scenario would still not be enough for him to qualify for the second round.

It forecast that Fillon would beat Le Pen in the two-way run-off, with 67 percent of votes to her 33 percent. The pollsters questioned 934 people online between Dec. 2 and Dec. 4.
