Abstract: Abstract The French presidential election of 2007 marks a turning point in the country’s Presidential election campaigns. Public opinion, measuring it and disseminating opinion poll results play a decisive and so far unmatched role in the selection of candidates. The polls also enabled Nicolas Sarkozy to put in place the foundations of a winning strategy. During the campaign proper, many different tools were also used. Lastly, opinion polls are becoming just as much tools of communication and issues of debate as instruments for understanding public opinion and responding to the public’s expectations.
