France's official election campaign for the presidential office got underway at the beginning of the week with twelve candidates to measure their strengths on April 22.
Nicolas Sarkozy, the centre-right candidate, continues to top the polls followed by socialist contender Segolene Royal and centrist candidate Francois Bayrou.
According to the latest LH2 survey reported in Le Nouvel Observateur, support for Sarkozy went down by one percentage point to 28%, Royal lost two percentage points and is clocking in at 24% while Bayrou remains at 18% .
Far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen, meanwhile, has gone up in the polls from 13 to 15 percent.
Other candidates for the first round include Olivier Besancenot from the communist revolutionary league, Jose Bove, the anti-globalisation farmer, Frederic Nihous from the hunting, fishing, nature and traditions party and Dominique Voynet from the Greens.
Analysts say none of the candidates is expected to get more than 50 percent in the first round, which makes highly likely a run-off on May 6.
