The Ipsos-Sopra Sterna poll for daily Le Monde showed centrist Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen tied on 22 percent each in the April 23 first round, with the far-left‘s Jean-Luc Melenchon and conservative Francois Fillon on 20 and 19 percent respectively.

That 3 percentage point gap among the top four was within the poll‘s margin of error, suggesting the election is wide open.
