Macron's group leads Le Pen's party ahead of EU parliament vote

French President Emmanuel Macron’s political grouping is currently in the lead ahead of European elections in May.
Macron’s Republic on the Move and the center-right MoDem combined have 25 percent support, followed by rival Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party with 19 percent, according to a BVA poll published on Saturday.
The poll also showed that if the Yellow Vests, who have been holding weekly protests against the government’s policies since mid-November, put up candidates for the European elections, they would receive 4 percent of the vote.
BVA surveyed 929 adults via Internet on Feb. 20 and Feb. 21.
