PARIS — Emmanuel Grégoire looks primed to extend the Socialist Party’s quarter-century rule of Paris in Sunday’s runoff election to lead the French capital, according to a poll shared exclusively with POLITICO.

The survey from Cluster 17 shows Grégoire scoring 48 percent of the vote, seven points clear of conservative challenger Rachida Dati. Sophia Chikirou of the hard-left France Unbowed would come in third with 11 percent.
