A survey conducted by Ipsos-BVA Cesi engineering school for La Tribune on Sunday reveals that 54% of the French population supports the ongoing student protest movement. However, not all of the students' demands are equally popular with the public. Younger people, particularly those under 35, show stronger support, with 62% backing the movement, compared to 43% among those aged 60 and over. Supporters of the Left Front (LFI) and environmental groups show even higher support, with over 90% backing the protests. When asked about specific student demands, the survey found that most respondents support measures like reducing class sizes (82%) and renovating school facilities (79%). However, fewer support reducing the number of class hours (34%) or abolishing the Parcoursup application system, which is used for university admissions (48%). This highlights a divide in public opinion regarding the practicality and necessity of some of the students’ proposals. The survey also looked into public attitudes toward violence. A majority—79% of respondents—consider the violence committed by some students against educational staff or public property as "unacceptable." However, the percentage drops to 47% when it comes to condemning the violence of some police officers against students. This suggests a perception that police actions may have been more aggressive or excessive in some instances. In response to the movement, 69% of respondents believe the government should prioritize "discussing with students to find solutions to their demands," while 31% think the government's priority should be "ending the movement to stop the violence and damage." The survey also indicates that 59% of respondents believe the movement "will last over time," as a new day of protest is planned for Tuesday. The survey was conducted on October 7 and 8 on a sample of 1,000 adults, representative of the French population according to quota methods. The margin of error is between 0.6 and 3.1 points.
