A majority of French people support the high school students' movement, with nearly three out of four considering their demands legitimate, according to a survey conducted by Elabe for BFMTV and published on October 7. The survey found that 55% of the French population approve of the student mobilization that began in mid-September, with strong support from parents of high school students (71%) and voters of the New Popular Front (85%). Conversely, 35% of respondents disapproved of the movement, with right-wing voters (60%) and National Rally supporters (55%) being the main critics. A larger majority considers the students' demands legitimate, with 28% finding them completely legitimate and 44% rather legitimate, totaling 72%. These demands are viewed as legitimate by the majority of all electorates, including 93% of New Popular Front voters, 68% of presidential camp voters, and 58% of National Rally supporters. The French are divided on the future of the movement, with 55% believing the mobilization should stop, 27% supporting continuation, and 17% advocating for intensification with more blockages. Young people aged 18-24 are particularly divided, with 33% wanting an end, 38% supporting continuity, and 28% calling for a hardening of the movement. In contrast, a large majority of seniors (71%) advocate for an end to the movement. Electorates are less divided, with a majority of supporters of Ensemble and the National Rally believing the mobilization should stop, while a minority (29%) of left-wing voters hold a different view. The student mobilization is "significantly declining" by midday on Wednesday, according to the Ministry of National Education, which reports that "nine out of ten schools functioning normally." In total, "459 establishments are experiencing a complete or partial suspension of classes (276 completely, 183 partially), compared to 891" on Tuesday. The ministry noted that "actions and disruptions are also declining by more than half," with "232 establishments affected" since Wednesday morning, compared to 496 on Tuesday at the same time. The Union of High School Unions and the Student Union are calling for new demonstrations on Thursday for a "fourth act" in Paris and other cities. The Elabe Opinion Poll for BFMTV was conducted from October 6 to October 7, 2026, among a representative sample of 1,001 residents of Metropolitan France aged 18 and over, interviewed online using the quota method applied to gender, age, profession, region, and category of agglomeration.
