France's Fillon seen winning conservatives' primaries: poll

French former prime minister Francois Fillon is set to win the conservative nomination for next year's presidential election by a wide margin, an Ifop-Fiducial poll forecast ahead of a primaries' run-off vote on Sunday. Fillon unexpectedly topped the first round last Sunday. Anyone can take part in the primaries independently of whether they are members of the Les Republicains conservative party or not.
