PARIS, June 8 (Xinhua) -- French President Emmanuel Macron's party "Republic on the Move" (LREM) stands a good chance of winning a parliamentary majority in upcoming legislative elections, an analyst at opinion research institute BVA Guillaume Indigo said Thursday.
Indigo told Xinhua in an interview that despite a quarter of French voters still being undecided, the 39-year-old French president "will have very likely an absolute majority" in the lower house of the parliament.
"We are witnessing the beginning of a political reshape that has benefited Macron for the moment. He is able to embody a certain revival in the political landscape," he said.
In a survey released on Wednesday, BVA predicted the centrist political movement, that Macron created only a year ago, would lead the vote on Sunday's first round of voting with 30 percent of the electorate. The conservative and centrist parties are predicted to gain 20 percent of the vote.
The far-right National Front party is projected to win 18 percent of the vote.
Though Macron and his party include new and untested faces, they are projected to win 375 of the 577 seats in the National Assembly, possibly delivering a majority that will empower the head of state to push through reforms.
"After making a faultless debut at the Elysee Palace, the French wish to give Macron the possibility of governing with a clear majority in the National Assembly," the French analyst said.
"LREM candidates are therefore taking advantage of Macron's dynamism, which is generally observed throughout the country," he said.
Macron, an ex-investment banker, came to power on May 7, ending decades of domination by France's two mainstream political parties.
A month on, 68 percent of the French were "rather satisfied" with new president's performance, with many voters supporting his government's cabinet and stance on climate change and the United States.
"His policies on economic and social matters, which are most divisive for the public, did not harm him," Indigo told Xinhua.
"However, the French will very quickly judge Macron and his government on unemployment and the future of social security even if his parliamentary majority comes through," he added.
A relative unknown until three years ago, Macron proposed a democratic front which included -- in his words -- new, talented and innovative faces regardless of their political leaning to help him to translate campaign promises into concrete deeds.
In the legislative elections, 428 candidates -- including 214 female faces -- have been named to represent the LREM in the National Assembly, with half of them from civil society and not having held an elected post.
The first round of voting to elect 577 deputies out of more than 7,800 candidates will kick off on Sunday.
Contenders need to gain at least 12.5 percent of the first round of votes if they are to enter the second round scheduled for June 18.
