🔶 Historic collapse of Macron’s popularity on the eve of France’s elections

Public sentiment in France is being overshadowed by rising energy costs and concerns about the future. Macron’s popularity has fallen to its lowest level since 2017. This situation could be decisive in the presidential election in the coming spring.

Amid the heat of the violence during protests by students and the government’s heavy debt, the popularity of Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, has fallen to its lowest point since the start of his presidency in 2017.

In the latest poll by the Ipsos BVA-Cesi institute, only 15% of respondents expressed a positive view of Macron. This figure is 1% lower than last month.

Citizens taking part in the survey cited high energy costs as their biggest concern. According to the results of this online poll carried out at the request of the newspaper “La Tribune Dimanche,” concern about the future of the welfare state and the government’s heavy debt are also currently among the main factors shaping France’s political climate.
