Yeah, you're probably the best person to talk about France then.
Just remember about 10% of citizens have been voting for FN for the past 30 years with little evolution one way or another (it has been getting a little more votes since the leader isn't the openly racist founder anymore, which is actually a good sign isn't it?). Also, judging someone on one of their parents is very bad form, would you also criticise people for voting for a candidate whose mother was a playmate?
The real difference, the reason why they are getting better scores than they used to, is that most moderate people are stopping voting altogether because the moderate parties are disappointing everyone is every way.
10% of citizens is too little IMO to generalise as "the French", especially if you're not even living in France.

As far as popularity goes, we'll see what happens next year. It seems that in your eagerness to comment, you missed on the fact that my original post never said that all French people supported FN - just that the French population includes a non trivial subset who do. > Yeah, you're probably the best person to talk about France then. I'm glad there are people on this forum who are the best person to talk about anything!
