Immigration is the theme on which Éric Zemmour differs most from the other ten candidates, with an average gap of 2.05 points. All six of his answers there are at one end of the scale or the other: he strongly agrees with a referendum on immigration, with abolishing birthright citizenship, with social housing and jobs going to French citizens first and with suspending family reunification, and strongly disagrees with giving legal status to undocumented workers who have a job and with undocumented migrants keeping access to State medical aid (AME). On priority for French citizens, only Marine Le Pen is on the same side as him.
Next comes “Society, secularism and regions” (1.83 points). He is the only one of the eleven who strongly agrees with banning girls under 18 from wearing the headscarf in public spaces, and the only one who strongly disagrees with keeping the 2026 law allowing assisted dying; he disagrees, in a position estimated for lack of a source, with Corsica being able to make its own rules. Pensions and the economy follow, tied at 1.47 points: he strongly disagrees with going back to a retirement age of 62 or lower, and strongly agrees with funding part of pensions through invested savings, with cutting public spending rather than raising taxes and with reducing the number of public servants.
He is closest to the rest on “Institutions and democracy” (0.73 points), with an intermediate position on the citizens’ initiative referendum (RIC) and, estimated, on proportional representation. Next come health (0.75 points), where he agrees with greatly increasing funding for public hospitals and disagrees with requiring doctors to set up practice where they are lacking, and “Work and cost of living” (0.86 points).
Of his 46 positions, 20 are in favour, 5 intermediate and 21 against; 22 are at the extremes (1 or 5) and 8, for lack of a source, are estimated. His highest match is with Marine Le Pen (84%), his lowest with Marine Tondelier (31%).
