Overview

• Only 17% express a favorable view of Emmanuel Macron, with 83% unfavorable and a record 54% saying they are very dissatisfied, according to the Ifop-JDD survey.
• Support declines across managers, workers, young people and retirees, and backing among his 2022 voters drops 14 points to 45%.
• The 17% score leaves Macron just four points above François Hollande’s 2014 nadir of 13%, and below his standing during the gilets jaunes crisis.
• In the same barometer, new Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu rises four points to 42% satisfaction as he focuses on the 2026 budget.
• The poll was conducted online September 18–19 among 1,000 adults using quota sampling, and coverage links part of Macron’s slump to plans to recognize a Palestinian state, which other surveys show most respondents oppose.
