So are the 2 close runner ups left leaning? If so, it should be an easy win for Macron and Europe.

Fillon is center-right, Melenchon is left and Hamon (who got 6%) is center-left, Dupont-Aignan (who got nearly 5%) is right as far as I can tell.

So basically Macron will a huge majority of Melenchon voters, nearly all Hamon voters and the majority of Fillon voters.
Le Pen will get a decent slice of Fillon voters and a huge majority of Dupont-Aignan voters.

At least that is what should happen, if I put the politicians in their right camps.

Usually things are more complicated than a simple left-right-scheme shows. For many, especially in the Melencon-camp, both candidates are unelectable.
