  1. According to this French journalist, because the CIs marginally overlap between Macron and Le Pen for the runoff in this poll, Le Pen “would win” The poll puts Le Pen at 47.5% and Macron at 52.5% If you EVER doubted your statistical skills, please don’t. You’re fine. @paulaubriat/1509181473852698646

      The worst thing about French political journalism is that this kind of statistical gibberish is really not uncommon In fact, I’d argue that it’s the norm So far, the only people I’ve found rigorous when it comes to political polling in France is literal pollsters lol
