That is simply not true. No polls, articles, interviews with man-in-the-street, etc. lead to that conclusion.

The “don’t leave the euro” cause MAY have been helped by the generally negative post-Brexit news among the still-undecided-on-the-subject, but that’s it.

Is it that hard to understand that there is still a majority (yet not enough, I’ll grant you) of french people that will not vote for a Nazi?

Do you have any polls that indicate how voters were going to vote pre-Trump election? Would Macron have had any indication that he needed to counter Russian hacking and document dumping had it not happened to the US first?

Le Pen had a lot of support similar to what Trump got, including people who voted for her specifically to “shake things up,” a term used to justify voting for Trump by people around me, who were all xenophobes.

Let me throw this at you though: Had the French election happened first, I don’t think the US would have been smart enough to have learned any lesson from Russian interference, or how Le Pen’s immediate actions would we paralleled by Trump.
