    There is no tactical voting in the second round of a presidential election, there are only 2 candidates. It would be a straight up choice of do the French people prefer a centrist/leftist or a fascist.

      aka a tactical vote as one literally has the option to not vote or spoil their ballot (risk of causing a vote split situation obviously but still.)

        I guess. Bit odd to describe just a regular vote of picking one of the two available options as tactical voting though. The polling definitely takes people voting into account.

          polling takes into account what one answers. if someone where to say they would not pick one or the other well then they couldn’t be marked down, the polls in this situation doesn’t have an undecided option.
