"This is as 無効の as space," the party's 副／悪徳行為-大統領，／社長 Florian Philippot told BFM television, 追加するing that searches had taken place a year ago and nothing had been 設立する then.
"These are マスコミ-stunt searches on the day when she (Le Pen) gets a 2-point bounce in the 投票s. It's always when the system is in panic that these 事件／事情／状勢s come out."
An Opinionway 投票 of 投票（する）ing 意向s on Monday had Le Pen easily （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing her four main 競争相手s to 勝利，勝つ the April 23 first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する with 27 パーセント of the 投票（する）.
In the second-一連の会議、交渉／完成する two-way runoff against Macron or Fillon, she was still seen losing, but both シナリオs saw her 狭くするing the gap.
She would lose against Macron with 42 パーセント to his 58, while against Fillon she would be 敗北・負かすd with 44 パーセント to his 56, the 投票 showed. A week ago she was 投票ing around 36-37 against Macron.
