Macron Stuck at 16% Approval as IfopJDD Poll Drags Lecornu Down to 34%

A record share of “very dissatisfied” respondents signals entrenched rejection that complicates looming budget negotiations.

Overview

  • Fielded November 13–21 among 2,000 adults online using the quota method, the IfopJDD barometer places Emmanuel Macron at 16% satisfied and a record 56% “very dissatisfied,” the lowest level of his presidency.
  • Sébastien Lecornu falls four points to 34% satisfied, marking his first clear hit from the presidency’s unpopularity even as only 25% say they are “very dissatisfied” with him.
  • Pollster Frédéric Dabi describes a contagion effect across the executive, noting that even the government’s more moderating figure is now being pulled into the broader backlash.
  • Respondents cite perceived detachment, tax and deficit concerns, security frustrations including narcotrafficking in Marseille, and unresolved anger over the earlier dissolution as key drivers.
  • The findings arrive as Lecornu seeks a delicate budget compromise, raising doubts about the executive’s capacity to rally support in the current climate.
