Not so easy this time: Can Le Pen upset Macron in French run-off vote?
We ask about the momentum in the homestretch, a sizeable protest vote from the extremes and about the third man: veteran left-wing firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who fell just shy of leapfrogging Le Pen and who emerges from Sunday's first round as the uncontested leader of a more defiant left. Where will his votes go on April 24?
