A recent survey published on Saturday, September 12, by La Tribune Dimanche shows that the popularity of French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has hit its lowest point since they took office. The Ipsos BVA-Cesi barometer, conducted online between September 9 and 10, reveals that Macron's favorable rating has dropped to 16%, a decrease of 5 percentage points compared to July. This is the lowest level of support for Macron since he first became president in 2017. The survey also indicates a sharp decline in support among his political allies, with the coalition of Renaissance, MoDem, and Horizons seeing a 19-point drop, bringing their favorable rating to 53%. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu’s popularity has also fallen significantly, according to the same survey. His favorable rating is now at 20%, a decrease of 7 points. This drop occurred just days after his birthday and comes as he continues to lead the government in a period of economic and social challenges. Among supporters of the same political coalition, Lecornu’s approval rating dropped by 14 points, reaching 64%. The survey highlights the main concerns of the French public, with "difficulties in terms of purchasing power" being the top issue, cited by 54% of respondents. Other significant concerns include the future of the social system (40%), the environment (31%), immigration (31%), and the level of national debt and deficits (30%). These issues reflect the current economic and social pressures facing the French population. The survey was conducted on a representative sample of 1,000 adults, selected using the quota method to ensure it reflects the broader French population. The margin of error is between 0.6 and 3.1 percentage points, which provides a measure of the survey’s reliability and accuracy.
