How the spiralling cost of living affects voters' intentions in France

Newshour

Available for over a year

Dijon - in the east of France - is a region where attitudes and voting habits diverge between the city and the countryside. Macron polls better in urban areas; Le Pen in rural ones. But there is one thing that unites the French at this election 鈥� concern about the spiralling cost of living. Newshour's James Coomarasamy has been trying to find out what that could mean for these two candidates who are now quite well-engrained in the French political consciousness. His quest began on a small family farm in the village of Barjon. (Photo shows James Coomarasamy interviewing a voter in the village of Barjon. Credit: 麻豆社)
