In fact, nearly every poll says Bayrou would beat him in the second round (see http://www.lemonde.fr/web/vi/0,47-0@2-823448,54-848463,0.html for Le Monde's handy summary page). In reality, I doubt Bayrou would manage it but the polls suggest otherwise, at least for now. Thanks for the useful precis of Charles de Courson's article in Philosophie the other day by the way.
