FRANCE: 63%, BELIEVE MACRON IS NOT A “GOOD PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC”

Tue 31 January 2023:

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and French President Emmanuel Macron’s approval ratings fell five points to 36% and 31%, respectively, over the past month and a half, according to a recent poll released on Tuesday, Anadolu Agency reported.

According to the Odoxa Institute, 63% of French respondents think Macron is not a “good president of the Republic.”

Furthermore, 66% of voters said Borne is not a “good prime minister.” According to the Institute, it is Borne’s lowest popularity rating since she came into office in May of last year.

“This low point was never reached by her predecessor Jean Castex,” it noted.

A total of 64% of respondents believe “if there were to be major blockades in the country due to mobilization against pension reform,” the government would bear the main responsibility. Just 35% would hold unions responsible.

But according to the authors of the poll, “no one really benefits from resentment over pension reform.”

Edouard Philippe, the mayor of Le Havre, a port city in Normandy, is the most well-liked politician in France with a 36% approval rating.

Philippe is the chairman of the Horizons party, which was founded in 2021. The party was a member of the Ensemble electoral alliance for the 2022 parliamentary elections, which included Macron’s La Republique En Marche.
