The popularity of French president Emmanuel Macron continues to decline unstoppably, according to a survey presented this Thursday and which estimates the proportion of citizens who do not trust their president at 70 percent.
In recent weeks, other studies have already pointed out the president’s loss of popular support due to the drastic way he was handling the controversial reform of the retirement, which is opposed by a large social majority.
Specifically, the one presented today by Kantar Public in the newspaper Le Figaro, shows that the proportion of French people who do not trust Macron went from 57 to 70 percent in the last two months, but the worst increase is in the personal sector.
This is a record low, close to the drop in popular support that Macron himself suffered in April 2018, during the “yellow vest” crisis, and the record set by Francois Hollande in 2015.
Among conservative voters, only 26 percent show their confidence in the president, a support that drops to 15 percent among sympathizers of left-wing parties (France Unsubmissive, the Communist Party, Ecologists, and the Socialist Party), and barely reaches 10 percent among the extreme right of the National Association.
