	French presidential election, 2002 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This election came as a shock to many commentators, almost all of whom had expected the second ballot to be between Jacques Chirac and Lionel Jospin.
		The election brought the two-round voting system into question as well as raising many concerns about apathy and the way in which the left had become so divided.
		In the months before the election, the campaign had increasingly focused on questions of law and order, with a particular attention towards crime committed by the youth, especially the youth of foreign origin.

		Jacques Chirac claimed the largest margin of victory ever in the French presidential election as he defeated far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen in a landslide.
		Those elections, held in two rounds on June 9 and 16, will determine the colour of the next government and may end the former "cohabitation" between a conservative president and a socialist prime minister.
		Chirac's Socialist prime minister, Lionel Jospin, whom Le Pen unexpectedly edged out in the first round, has said he will leave his job immediately after the election so the government's resignation will be on the table on Monday.

	ICPSR - 6583 - French Presidential Election Survey, 1988
		This survey, undertaken to facilitate the comparative study of French and United States electoral behavior, was conducted in conjunction with the French presidential election of 1988.
		Accordingly, the questionnaire closely matches the standard American National Election Study, and, where appropriate, the questions were posed in language and forms that maintained continuity with earlier studies conducted in France.
		The 132 variables include 7-point scales recording respondents' left-right positions on major issues (including government subsidies to religious schools, the size of the public sector, and government policy toward immigrants) as well as their perceptions of the positions of the five major parties and the four major presidential candidates on those same scales.

	TENSION GROWS AS THE FRENCH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION APPROACHES
		Le Pen finished second with 16.86% of the vote in the first round of a crowded French presidential election of 16 candidates.
		French voter particpation has been decreasing since 1988, when a little more than 80% of the population voted.
		Many French citizens were shocked by the results, as Le Pen is largely viewed as an anti-Semite and racist because of his support of "national preference" laws for housing and employment, in addition to advocating the expulsion of illegal immigrants and restricting the right to seek asylum.

	Diverted tautological political communication in French presidential elections: The case of Lionel Jospin in 1995
		The 2002 presidential elections may however prove slightly more difficult to handle for the socialist contender, who, although clearly in a position to win the election, is now perceived as an established politician with a record to defend.
		Written before the forthcoming 2002 French presidential election, the present article examines the influence exerted by the mass media and opinion surveys in France upon the public perception of presidential candidates.
		The nature of this influence was very apparent in the 1995 presidential campaign, as the exploitation of opinion polls by the media had an impact on both the communication strategies of presidential candidates and the political ‘offer’ made to the French electorate.

	IRR: Issues in the French presidential elections
		In the first round of the presidential elections, 4.5 million people voted for the National Front candidate, Jean Marie Le Pen representing 15 per cent of the vote, about one point higher than Le Pen's previous best score in 1988.
		Before the first-round of the presidential election, Gaullist candidate Edouard Balladur invited Le Pen to his office on a least five occasions and there were rumours that Balladur had promised the NF influential government posts in the event of his victory.
		As the FN vote proved crucial to both presidential hopefuls, each found themselves in a position of having to court FN votes.

		In elections in 1988 and 1995, Mr Le Pen's populist anti-immigration stance won him around 15% of the vote.
		The leader of France's far-right National Front party Jean-Marie Le Pen has said he may not be able to run for the French presidential election because he does not yet have the 500 signatures required to back his candidacy.
		In previous elections, no serious candidates have had difficulty rounding up backers, but commentators say a new mood prevails among local leaders, who are expressing their broader dissatisfaction with national politics.

	BBC News EUROPE French snub presidential vote
		Voters have stayed away in droves from polling stations in the first round of the French presidential election, as voting draws to a close after a campaign marked by widespread apathy.
		While attention may focus now on the presidential vote, the amount of power the eventual winner comes to wield depends on the outcome of legislative elections.
		Just hours before the polling stations were due to close, officials said almost 60% of the electorate had cast their vote - down by 5% compared with the election in 1995.

	The 2000 U
		It recalled the 1988 election campaign when Bush's father (is this a genetic disorder?) accused candidate Michael Dukakis of instigating class antagonism.
		During the presidential campaign, Jesse Jackson, NAACP President Kweisi Mfume, legions of black Democratic officials, the leaders of NOW and the Fund For a Feminist Majority constantly dangled the nightmare vision of Bush dumping more judges such as Clarence Thomas and William Rehnquist on the high court.
		The quadrennial presidential horserace is on, and the media establishment has unleashed its multimillion-dollar army of pundits, pollsters, powdered anchors, analysts, chart makers, gossips, make-up artists, set designers and others to drum up the drama, telling us peasants over and over again how exciting, how momentous, how democratic it all is.

	FRENCH.htm
		It might be said that the French Presidential election has little relevance to the question of possible changes in the method of holding U. Presidential elections, because the U.S. has never experienced such an extensive field of candidates (16 names on the ballot) as the French election did in 2002.
		In particular, any claim that monotonicity failure is a practical problem, and that the 2002 French election provides an empirical example of it, rests by necessity on data that is both unobserved and counterfactual.
		Because in simple plurality elections votes cast for trailing candidates (expected to place third or lower) are almost certainly "wasted," voters who sincerely prefer such candidates have an incentive to vote "tactically" for whichever of the two leading candidates they relatively prefer.

		Through an examination of 1988 election results as well as other data, this chapter analyzes the growing impact of the Florida Hispanic vote, and especially the role of Cuban voters and their strong loyalties to the Republican party, in state and national elections.
		Election data is based on the results from the 41 precincts in Dade county where Hispanics make up over 70 percent of the voters.
		Since 1980 GOP candidates have captured three seats in the State Senate and eight in the lower house largely due to the variable impact of district elections and a cohesive Hispanic voting bloc.
