34% is way too much for a fascist like Le Pen.

64 to 34 in a popular vote is a landslide. If this was happening in a third world country, media would be calling it "obviously manipulated". Such numbers are unheard of.

7.6M vs 11M... That's +45%.

Say what? She went from 21% to 34, that's a 60% increase.
