Poll: Sharp Drop In The Popularity Of Emmanuel Macron And Élisabeth Borne
This level of unpopularity of the two leaders of the executive was obtained after a poll carried out by Internet from April 3 to 5 among a sample of 1,000 people representative of the French population aged 18 and over, according to the quota method.
A Drop of 7 Points For Emmanuel Macron
The confidence rating of Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne shows a sharp drop. According to an Elabe poll conducted on the Internet from April 3 to 5 with a sample of 1,000 people, the popularity of the head of state has fallen by 7 points in one month. The study has indeed revealed that only 25% of French people trust the President of the Republic. This score is 22% for the Prime Minister. This is the worst score for a head of government since 2017. Despite this sharp drop, the Elysée tenant’s record of unpopularity in December 2018 (23%) during the “yellow vests” crisis is not yet reached.
Rise in Mistrust
The poll also revealed an increase in distrust of Emmanuel Macron 71% (+8 points), of which 43% do not “trust the head of state at all”. The score “remains below the December 2018 record when more than half of French people said they had no confidence in him at all with 51%”, notes the polling institute quoted by BFMTV. The fall in confidence in the Head of State shows a sharp decline among his voters in the first round of 2022: 68%, a drop of 13 points. As for Elisabeth Borne, 69% (+6 points) of the French do not trust her “to face the main problems facing the country”.
