AFTER TRUMP AND BREXIT, FRENCH VOTING HARD TO CALL
"The polls are still getting it wrong," a friend of deeply unpopular French President Francois Hollande said cheerfully on Monday after the latest voting upset to hit pollsters. Socialist Hollande is weighing whether to make an apparently suicidal run for a second term as president next year in the face of polls that show him unlikely to even reach double figures if he goes ahead as a candidate. The experience of former prime minister Francois Fillon over the past fortnight offers him food for thought, along with Britain's vote to leave the EU and Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election - all adding to questions over the accuracy of such surveys.
