Right-wing presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy has extended his lead over his main rival, Socialist Segolene Royal, but a poll on Sunday showed nearly half of French voters were undecided over who to back.
With just two weeks to the first round of the presidential election, the CSA poll for Le Parisien newspaper said 42 percent were unsure which way to vote.
The number is slightly higher than before previous presidential ballots and highlights the unpredictable nature of this election.
"People are hesitating more and more between the candidates and will decide at the last moment," said Roland Cayrol, director of the CSA institute.
Although election sparring has been going on for months, Monday marks the official start of the campaign when candidates unveil media spots and stick up posters.
Sarkozy has consistently led opinion polls and has picked up a few points over his main rivals in recent days.
