Is the last defense against the arrival of the RN in power beginning to crack? This is what we might think when reading the voting intention surveys for the European elections in June. For a long time, executives and retirees provided the big battalions of the so-called government parties, thus resisting the attacks of populism. In the first round of the 2022 presidential election, according to the poll carried out on voting day by Ifop, 39% of those over 65 voted for Emmanuel Macron, compared to 18% for Marine Le Pen, 13% for Jean-Luc Mélenchon and 10% for Valérie Pécresse; 34% of executives and higher intellectual professions voted for the outgoing president, compared to 21% for Mélenchon and 14% for Le Pen.
