Abstract

Written before the forthcoming 2002 French presidential election, the present article examines the influence exerted by the mass media and opinion surveys in France upon the public perception of presidential candidates. More specifically, this article focuses on the political communication of socialist candidate Lionel Jospin during his 1995 presidential campaign and engages with Maarek’s concept of ‘diverted tautological political communication’ in order to examine the role played by television and opinion polls in the construction of Jospin’s presidential credibility.
