Lyon, still a bastion of “macronie”? In 2017, Lyon had largely placed Emmanuel Macron in the lead in the first round of the presidential election with nearly 31% of the votes cast. He was clearly ahead of François Fillon (LR) with 23.35% and Jean-Luc Mélenchon with 22.87%.
Emmanuel Macron was then François Hollande’s former economy minister and had been largely helped and supported by Gérard Collomb, then mayor of Lyon and president of the Metropolis. In some polling stations in Lyon 3rd, near Monplaisir and Montchat, Emmanuel Macron had sometimes reached 45% in the first round.
Will it be the same after 5 years of exercising power?
Presidential 2022: Lyon is already no longer a macronist?
Since the 2017 presidential election, other polls have taken place. In the 2019 European elections, the LREM list came out on top in Lyon. And more broadly in a good part of the metropolis of Lyon. Already, the environmental list led by Yannick Jadot, had achieved a good score in Lyon (nearly 21% of the vote).
During the 2020 local elections, ecologists confirmed their good results in Lyon. In the municipal and metropolitan elections, the environmental lists of Grégory Doucet and Bruno Bernard clearly won. In the first as in the second round within a union of the left.
However, the regional elections of 2021 did not confirm this great victory of 2020 in Lyon. The union list of the left, led by Fabienne Grébert (EELV), came out on top in the second round in Lyon. However, it was ahead of that of Laurent Wauquiez (LR) by a short head. The list of the outgoing president had come largely in the lead in the whole of the metropolis of Lyon. That of Emmanuel Macron’s party, led by Bruno Bonnell, did not even hold up in the second round.
Towards an important score by Jean-Luc Mélenchon in Lyon?
It is difficult to compare polls on a very different scale, issues and mobilizations. If she brought environmentalists to power in her city, nothing says that Lyon acclaims the environmental candidate for the presidential election. On the contrary perhaps Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI). In 2017, he had obtained nearly 23% of the votes, just behind François Fillon (LR). His score in Lyon could once again be relatively high.
Failing to have completely become a “left-wing city”, Lyon is certainly no longer the “right-wing city” or center-right that it was for a long time. In 2017, the two left-wing candidates – Mélenchon and Hamon – represented around 33% of the votes in the first round. More than the right-wing candidate, François Fillon. The candidate Emmanuel Macron, widely supported locally, having gleaned votes from both camps.
Despite the presence of an environmentalist candidate this year, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the left-wing candidate best placed according to the polls, could thus benefit from the famous “useful vote” on the left. And achieve an important score in Lyon.
