Abstract

PARIS -- President Nicolas Sarkozy's governing party is bracing for a crushing defeat in regional elections this Sunday and next, as voters appear determined to use the last nationwide ballot before the 2012 presidential election to send a sharp warning to the Elysee Palace. Most opinion polls suggest that the opposition Socialist Party and its allies are headed for a clean sweep of the 22 regional councils in mainland France in the two-round contest.
