Abstract
In the United States, uncertainties surrounding the aggregate time series evidence on economic conditions and voting behavior led researchers to explore the relationship through individual level survey data. For France, aggregate time series studies have begun to appear but, as yet, no microlevel analysis has been done. My investigation attempts to resolve doubts arising from the macrolevel work, by looking at individual economic perception and vote intention in surveys of the French electorate. I find that economic conditions, both personal and collective, exert a significant influence on party choice in French legislative elections. Moreover, this economic influence appears more pervasive in France than in the United States.
