Sounds like Macron is the favorite, but that was probably also true of Clinton here. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

This is way more nuanced though. Macron is the independent moderate newcomer here. Le Pen the decade old settled extreme rightwing who has been plageriasing, slandering and struggling in her last few weeks of the campaign.

The 3rd (21%) and 4rd (19%) of the first round, have pledged their support to macron.

Also in the US election there was a massive "vote against Hillary" rather then "for Trump" , that would be more the case in France with Le Pen. You might not like Macron, but you sure as hell hate Le Pen.

I'm expecting a 60-65 % massive win for Macron.

edit: oh and Macron doesnt have the FBI investigating him...
