PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron and challenger Marine Le Pen will be back on the campaign trail on Thursday after the far-right candidate failed, in a high-stakes TV debate, to deliver the

knockout blow she needed ahead of Sunday's vote.

Ms Le Pen, who focused on expressing empathy with people she said had"suffered" since Mr Macron was elected in 2017, was judged slightly more in tune with voters' concerns, but her far-right views were still considered much more worrying, the poll showed. Mr Macron will be campaigning on Thursday in the Paris suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis - a key target for both candidates which voted heavily for hard left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon in the first round.
