advisers backers: That came a day after he promised a blend of fiscal discipline and stimulus to strengthen a feeble economic recovery, according to The Japan Times. As former investment banker Macron's campaign gained momentum, Fillon's camp was mired in a crisis of confidence after a string of resignations among his close advisers and backers. For the first time since the line-up of candidates became clear, an Oxoda poll showed Macron finishing ahead of far-right leader Marine Le Pen in the opening round. His campaign chief, Patrick Stefanini, and his chief spokesman, Thierry Solere, both quit on Friday, while center-right party UDI also withdrew its support. Juppe, himself convicted in 2004 for misuse of public funds, has until now ruled out a comeback. The Odoxa poll also showed that if Fillon were to step down and be replaced by another former prime minister, Alain Juppe, it would be Juppe winning the first round, with Le Pen eliminated A source in Juppe's entourage said the 71-year-old who lost to Fillon in the November primaries was ready to take part in the search for a solution.
