French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte took a walk near the beach Saturday ahead of the second round of presidential elections. Macron is in pole position to win re-election Sunday in the country's presidential runoff.

All opinion polls in recent days converge toward a win for the 44-year-old pro-European centrist - yet the margin over his nationalist rival varies broadly, from 6 to 15 percentage points, depending on the poll.

Polls also forecast a possibly record-high number of people who will either cast a blank vote or not vote at all. A Macron victory in this vote would make him the first French president in 20 years to win a second term.
