Marine Le Pen and Donald TrumpGETTY – REUTERS

Marine Le Pen has taken the lead in polling ahead of the election

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen now holds between 25 and 26 per cent of support compared with presidential favourite François Fillion.

Her rival and former frontman from Les Republicans party has only received between 23 and 25 per cent so far, according to an Ipsos Sopra Steria poll.

He held a three-point lead over Le Pen in December with 28 per cent support, but her ratings have soared in the days surrounding the inauguration of Donald Trump on Friday.

Le Pen is hoping to ride the same wave of populist sentiment that helped to secure the victory for the now president, who was sworn in yesterday.

Last week she revealed she would like to see the production of French vehicles and other industrial goods return to France, just as Trump pledged to do in the United States.

She said: "He (Trump) is putting in place measures I have been demanding for years."

Speaking on France 2 Television, she described the policy as "economic patriotism [and] intelligent protectionism" before adding: “I don't mind explaining to French companies that they cannot escape tax that they should be paying in France, that they cannot go offshore without suffering the consequences.

“A choice has to be made, a choice of patriotism."

The National Front leader also echoed Mr Trump’s sentiments on immigration, demanding migrant children are not given access to French public schools.

Fillion held a three-point lead over Le Pen in December

She has been a sharp critic of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's refugee policy, which has seen millions of migrants flee to Germany in recent years.

Speaking in November, she said: “We cannot take care of hundreds of thousands of people arriving here, because our first obligation is to protect the French people.”

Le Pen has also announced she would pull France out of the Eurozone and would hold a Brexit style referendum on leaving the European Union.

And she even repeated Mr Trump’s praise of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, having regularly praised him as a like-minded “patriot” and a bulwark against encroachments on "traditional" European values.

But despite her growing support, Mr Fillon is still expected to beat the far-right leader in a second round runoff in May.

The survey also revealed the support for lesser-known candidates or those standing as independents.
