The historic fall of Macron's popularity on the eve of the French elections

France's public space is in the shadow of energy surges and worries about the future. Macron's popularity has reached its lowest level since 2017. This situation could be decisive in the presidential elections next spring.

In the heat of violence during a student strike and heavy government debt, the popularity of Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has fallen to the lowest level since he took office in 2017.

In the latest Ipsos BVA-Cesi Institute poll, only 15% of respondents expressed a favorable opinion of Macron. This figure is one percent lower than last month.

Citizens participating in this survey named high energy costs as their biggest concern. According to the results of this online survey, commissioned by the newspaper "La Tribune Dimanche", fear about the future of the welfare state and the government's heavy debt are currently the main factors shaping the political climate in France.
