Paris:
According to a survey of 10,000 voters conducted by Opinionway
for Le Figaro (not online), 93 percent of French Muslims voted for
Francois Hollande in the second round of the French election, La
Vie reports.
Another poll put Muslim support for Hollande at 85 percent.
A prior Opinionway survey showed that 59 percent of Muslim voters
(numbering about two million in total) voted for Hollande in the
first round of the French elections, with Sarkozy only managing
four percent.
“It is the mark of a true rejection of Nicolas Sarkozy” said
Julien Goarant, research director at Opinionway. Sarkozy’s
attempts to woo Far-right voters and question the role of Islam
(especially Halal meat) in France also did not go unnoticed.
On the flip side, a poll for La Vie showed that 79 percent of
practicing Catholics voted for Sarkozy, with Hollande cornering
only 21 percent of their vote. But 70 percent of those considering
themselves “without religion” went with Hollande, according to Le
Figaro.
