Two days after Parliament adopted the immigration bill, our Odoxa-Backbone Consulting poll reveals that half of French people (50%) say they are "satisfied" with the law. Almost a quarter of them (24%) say they are "dissatisfied", while 26% say they do not know the main lines of the text. On the other hand, 68% of those surveyed who say they are aware of the bill welcome its content.
Unsurprisingly, among sympathizers, a clear left/right divide is emerging. Thus, 49% of the rebels, 43% of the socialists and 44% of the ecologists say they are dissatisfied with the law. On the contrary, voters of Renaissance (80%), LR (81%) and RN (63%) are satisfied with it.
In detail, seven of the eight main measures tested have the support of an overwhelming majority of French people. More than eight out of ten are in favour of depriving dual nationals of nationality who commit crimes against law enforcement officers. 76% say they are in favour of reinstating the offence of illegal residence and 75% support the introduction of immigration quotas.
However, only one measure is rejected by a narrow majority of French people (52%): "the ban on the detention of minors in administrative detention centres (CRA)".
Since the adoption of the bill, Marine Le Pen and her troops have claimed an "ideological victory", while the head of state has decreed "a defeat" for the RN. In fact, the majority of French people (55%) see Marine Le Pen as the big winner of this legislative sequence, far ahead of Gérald Darmanin (28%), Emmanuel Macron (25%) and Élisabeth Borne (23%). Éric Ciotti and his team also came out of the sequence stronger, as 41% of those surveyed believe that it is a success for the LR. Unsurprisingly, more than half of the French (58%) perceive a defeat for Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the Nupes.
