PARIS, June 30 (Reuters) - France's far-right National Rally (RN) party was seen leading the first round of parliamentary elections with around 34% of votes, pollsters IFOP, Ipsos, OpinionWay and Elabe said on Sunday.
The leftwing New Popular Front (NFP) coalition was seen coming in second with around 29%, ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's centrist bloc in third spot with between 20.5-23%.
Elabe said in an estimate for BFM TV that the National Rally and its allies could win between 260-310 parliament seats in the second voting round on July 7, while Ipsos projected a range of 230-280 seats for RN and its allies in a poll for France Television.
289 seats are needed for an absolute majority in the National Assembly, France's lower house of parliament. (Reporting by Benoit Van Overstraeten; Editing by Sudip Kar-Gupta)
