Four years after ending 73 years of right-wing rule in Bordeaux, Pierre Hurmic still holds a fragile lead in the race for the municipal elections, though nothing is set in stone yet. While the current ecologist mayor, Pierre Hurmic, seems to be in a good position for now, the situation is changing.

If he decides to run again at the head of an LFI-NPA list, he would receive between 15 and 16% of the votes. The National Rally, on its side, caps at 10%. Another striking takeaway from the survey: Philippe Poutou's recognition surpasses even that of the current mayor. With 86% recognition, the former anti-capitalist presidential candidate outpaces Pierre Hurmic, who is known by 81% of Bordeaux residents.
