Poll shows Sarkozy trims Hollande lead

2012-08-17 6

Three days before election day, Nicolas Sarkozy and his rival for the French Presidency Francois Hollande have held rival rallies.

A new opinion poll suggests Hollande's lead has narrowed slightly after Wednesday's heated television debate. Both men are still trying to convince the electorate they are the right person for the job.

Al Jazeera's Simon McGregor-Wood was in Toulouse at the Hollande event, while Andrew Simmons was in Toulon at the Sarkozy rally.
