Overview
- CSA surveyed 1,010 adults nationwide on November 13–14 for CNews, Europe 1 and Le JDD using quota sampling and weighting.
- Perceptions vary by demographics: 86% of women versus 81% of men view the system as ill‑suited, and 72% of those under 35 agree compared with about 90% among people 50 and older.
- By socio‑professional status, 81% of CSP+ respondents, 85% of CSP‑ and 84% of inactive people judge the system inadapted.
- Views split along political lines: 90% of RN and 87% of LR supporters share this view, compared with 75% for LFI, 81% for PS, 64% for Ecologists and 78% for Renaissance.
- The 83% figure is down one point from a March 28 CSA poll, and it comes after the Constitutional Council struck key provisions of a tougher juvenile law; Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin now advocates lowering the age of criminal majority to 16, which the report says would require a constitutional change not achievable under the current parliamentary balance.
