Overview
- The Elabe barometer measured Emmanuel Macron's confidence at 13% in a survey conducted November 3–4, 2026, a new low for that institute.
- Public distrust of Macron reached 82% with 60% saying they do not trust him at all, signaling intense rejection rather than passive indifference.
- Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu also hit a personal low at 17% trust while Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella led positive-image rankings at 35% and 33% respectively.
- Analyst Antonin André said the current unpopularity is qualitatively different from François Hollande's because it involves anger and active rejection, not mere indifference.
- The poll surveyed 1,004 adults using quota sampling with a margin of error of 1.4–3.1 points and marks an 11-point fall for Macron since August, a shift that could reshape campaign tactics and political stability ahead of 2027.
