Lyon Election Polls: Grégory Doucet Stagnates, Jean-Michel Aulas Remains Unchallenged
The latest OpinionWay poll for Lyon’s municipal and metropolitan elections indicates little change in voter intentions compared to December. Grégory Doucet, the ecologist mayor, has tried various initiatives to gain traction, but his efforts seem ineffective.
Lyon Election Polls: Grégory Doucet Stagnates, Jean-Michel Aulas Remains Unchallenged
Conducted between January 12 and 19, the poll shows Doucet has maintained 25% of voter intentions, despite a busy week that included a major campaign meeting attended by 800 supporters. He introduced several proposals, including an anti-incivility brigade, citizen voting mechanisms, and a commitment to 30% social housing.
Key Candidates and Their Polling Results
- Grégory Doucet (Green Party): Remains at 25% of voter intentions.
- Jean-Michel Aulas (Coeur Lyonnais): Sees an increase, now at 47% of voter intentions.
- Alexandre Dupalais (UDR-RN): Holds steady at 10%, positioned for the second round.
- Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi (LFI): Drops to 8%, struggling with her campaign
- Georges Képénékian: At 4%, below the threshold for list fusion.
- Nathalie Perrin-Gilbert: Falls to 3%, tied with Raphaëlle Mizony (NPA).
- Delphine Briday (Lutte Ouvrière): Registers less than 1% of voter intentions.
The data suggests Jean-Michel Aulas remains largely unaffected by the controversies surrounding him, regaining ground in the polls. In contrast, challenges face candidates like Belouassa-Cherifi, Képénékian, and Perrin-Gilbert, who continue to struggle with low support.
