Clinton led Trump by 2-3 points— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) April 23, 2017
Remain led Leave by 1-2 points
Macron leads Le Pen by 26 points in runoff polls
Most enjoyable Schadenfreude point is the way rightwing Twitter is unable to understand that the first-round numbers—not an exit poll but a statistically valid sample of real votes—are real, and keeps reporting partial numbers from the officials as if they were going to last:
LE PEN AT 25.2%, MACRON AT 21.1%: INTERIOR MINISTRY AT 8:21PM— zerohedge (@zerohedge) April 23, 2017

@KBeetel @goldengateblond Better ask what kind of idiot nominates a Koch Brothers tool https://t.co/zXk3DxHLxc to run the agency he's been trying to destroy.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) April 23, 2017
@KBeetel @goldengateblond And what kind of idiot files 14 lawsuits against one defendant when practically all of them lose? https://t.co/gPLaXw4r18— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) April 23, 2017
