Although nothing is guaranteed, it’s thought that a wide spectrum of voters will opt to vote for Macron. He is likely to receive the votes from left-leaning voters who backed Hamon and Mélenchon in the first round of the contest as well as those on the right, who voted for Fillon in the first round.
