In a contest driven as much by a dislike of his showy style as by policy differences, Sarkozy and Socialist rival Francois Hollande are poised to edge out eight other candidates to reach a May 6 runoff, where polls give Hollande a double-digit lead.


Hollande, 57, wants higher taxes on the wealthy to fund state-aided job creation, including a 75 percent top tax rate on income above 1 million euros ($1.32 million).
