Unlessa year and a half of municipal electionsall the candidates who will line up on the starting line in Nice have not yet declared themselves.
Mayor Horizons, Christian Estrosi, has announced that he will run for a fourth term. His main opponent, Éric Ciotti, maintains suspense at least on the surface. “I will take my responsibilities”the president of the Union of Rights for the Republic said a few weeks ago.
The question is whether Christian Estrosi's former collaborator, became his worst political enemyis likely to steal from him the seat of chief magistrate of the fifth city in France.
This is not quite the question answered the poll published this Monday, November 25 by the newspaper The Tribune.
The daily asked the Ifop institute to scan the popularity of the parties involved. A satisfaction contest that puts the current elected official in the lead. Next to three quarters of Nice residents believe that Christian Estrosi is a “good mayor”.
Pour 74% of people surveyed, it is perceived as “well defending the interests of the capital of the Côte d’Azur”.
73% of those surveyed find it “competent”. As much as those who judge him “present on the ground”. And again 71% of those questioned believe that it has “a project for Nice”.
Éric Ciotti would make a good mayor for 53% of Nice residents
This is the observation that draws The Tribune in today's edition. The newspaper reveals, on the basis of this Ifop poll, that this satisfaction is reinforced within Christian Estrosi's electoral troops, since 85% of voters who placed their trust in him in 2020 believe they have “made the right choice”.
Enough to roll out an electoral carpet for the current mayor? Everyday life is more nuanced. He reminds us that a major opponent stands “in ambush”MP Éric Ciotti.
In this survey, “he appears to be a personality who could make a good mayor” for 53% of Nice residents. Even if 46% of the latter believe the opposite, according to the opinion survey, which credits the socialist Patrick Allemand with 42% favorable reviews et ex-RN Philippe Vardon by 33%.
Electoral market shares which are not not for all that “voting intentions”as admitted The Tribune.
