Last poll for Paris Mayor's Race. Tomorrow is the final vote. Grégoire (Socialist) is at 45.5%. Rachida Dati (Right-Wing) is at 44.5%. Chikirou (Leftist) is at 10%.
The kind of people who vote for her don't do that kind of deep research.
On the 3th of october 2023, the newspaper Le Monde published an extremely well-writen investigation about her behavior. Because she is the girlfriend of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, her party boss, she doesn't hesitate to humiliate people:
On the 6th of october, 3 days later, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was visiting Morocco. Believing he was far from any french journalists, he made this confession to Moroccan students:
I don't care about what's in the press. Who reads newspapers? People prefer to watch our viral videos. We are in the amazing age of social media

How did we reach the point that nearly all elections in the last month to years basically end up being 50/50?

In this case it's the two round voting system used in france, the first round looked very different.

Chikirou is not left. She is a tankie nutjob.
🔴 She is know for screaming on her assistants
🔴 In parliament, she voted against aid to Ukraine, arguing "This would be bad for peace"
🔴 She said China isn't a dictatorship
🔴 She paid tribute to the leader of Hamas
🔴 She told a group of Russians : "I will make sure Ukraine can never join the EU or NATO. They have a huge responsibility for seeking war"
🔴 She compared socialists to insects that must be crushed
Last but not the least, she is criminally indicted for financial fraud:

This is a woman so toxic that nobody wants to associate with her.
When she joined the race, she said her main goal is to make sure the socialist loses:

Worry not. If Dati gets elected mayor of Paris she will lose her title when she inevitably is found guilty of corruption in her trial later this year.

Which one is the best for the improvement of bike lanes and public transportation?

Probably Grégoire as he is the designated successor of the current mayor and was her assistant.
