(Reuters) - Two thirds of French voters believe President Nicolas Sarkozy will lose next year's elections if he runs -- including more than half of his own party's supporters, a survey showed Sunday.Sarkozy, whose popularity slid back to near record lows in September, is yet to announce whether he will run for the presidency next April and May, but according to a poll by ViaVoice for left-leaning daily newspaper Liberation, 68 percent of people think he would lose the election.
Sarkozy's government was dealt a sharp blow this week, just seven months before the election, when left-wing candidates wrested control of the Senate for the first time in more than 50 years.
The survey of 1,007 people of voting age was conducted between Sep. 29 and October 1 with those polled citing Sarkozy's economic policies and public debt and deficit issues as their main cause for concern.
Worryingly for Sarkozy, 54 percent of those supporting his UMP party said they did not think he would win the election.
With a week until the first round of the opposition Socialists' presidential primary, former party leader Francois Hollande continues to be its most popular candidate.
According to the ViaVoice survey, the general public would prefer French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe to run as the presidential candidate from Sarkozy's party, although 54 percent of UMP voters still think the president would be the best man to run.
If Sarkozy loses office, next year, does that then take him out of contention for the role of the False Prophet, who in turn gives his backing to the Antichrist? On the contrary, he would then be able to take up the role as the head of the IMF once it became vacant. The False Prophet forces everyone to take his mark for buying and selling.
As the head of the IMF Sarkozy would be then be in the ideal place to do just that, as it seems that he is positioning himself ideally to achieve a dual role with the EU president, Van Rompuy, in running the Revised Roman Empire of the EU.
