Voting began today in France in President Nicolas Sarkozy’s uncertain bid for re-election, with polls showing that many French are dissatisfied with his response to concerns about the economy and jobs.
The voting will winnow down a list of 10 candidates from across the political spectrum to two finalists for the decisive runoff on May 6, which will set a course for the next five years in this pillar of the European Union.
Polls for months have showed that the conservative Sarkozy—who has been relatively unpopular for months, if not years—and Francois Hollande, a Socialist, are likely to make the cut.
