53% - Nicolas Sarkozy
47% - Segolene Royal
The exit polls are clear: France's new president is the center-right candidate Nicolas Sarkozy. Good news for the economy, immigration policies and France-US relations. Bad news for Turkey, as Sarkozy is a fierce opponent to its future EU membership. He might soften his stance though, especially since Turkey is not due to join before 2014 anyway.
