Macron's Confidence Sinks to 11% in Verian Poll, Matching Fifth Republic Low

A parallel rise for Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu reshapes the executive's balance of public support.

Overview

  • The Verian/Le Figaro survey conducted online from October 26 to 28 finds Emmanuel Macron down five points to 11%, equaling François Hollande’s worst score under the Fifth Republic.
  • Losses are steep among older voters, with a drop of 11 points among those 65 and over and 9 points among retirees.
  • Support within political affinities remains uneven, with 71% of Renaissance sympathizers expressing confidence, 53% across the broader Ensemble bloc, and just 14% among Les Républicains sympathizers.
  • In the same barometer, Sébastien Lecornu gains five points to 26%, with improvements recorded among seniors and retirees as budget battles continue in a fragmented Assembly.
  • A separate Toluna-Harris Interactive poll for LCI reports 25% trusting Macron, the lowest for that series, underscoring differences across polling measures and a broader crisis of confidence flagged by analysts.
