No, Eric Zemmour is not given in the second round by a poll, contrary to what is circulating by SMS. The National Commission for the Control of the Electoral Campaign and the Polling Commission on Friday called on voters to be “very careful about the messages that could circulate in relation to results referring to “polls” but which do not constitute polls. and therefore cannot rely on this term”.
They also asked the “media, platforms and social networks and individuals not to relay” these messages “which may constitute misleading information”.
Furious Pecresse
Just before the official end of the electoral campaign at midnight, this “false poll”, which sends Éric Zemmour to the second round, was sent by SMS to many people. Some supporters of the far-right polemicist also relayed it on social networks. LR candidate Valérie Pécresse immediately seized the Polling Commission and accused Eric Zemmour by name of “currently illegally broadcasting a false poll by SMS”.
“This SMS, unsolicited by its recipients and contravening all the regulations relating to the protection of personal data, is not even signed by its author, suggesting a spontaneous or even informative dissemination”, she explains. in a press release.
