Macron set for majority in polls: survey

Emmanuel Macron's newly formed party is set to win the biggest parliamentary majority for a French president since Charles de Gaulle's 1968 landslide, a survey of voter intentions for the coming legislative elections showed yesterday. With a solid lead with 29.5 percent of the vote in the June 11 first round, LREM would go on to win 385-415 seats out of 577 in the lower house of parliament in a June 18 second round of voting, the poll showed.
