According to an Odoxa-Backbone Consulting survey for Le Figaro, 76% of French people approve of François Bayrou's decision not to join the government. Since his peak of popularity in 2007, when he reached 75% good opinion, the president of MoDem has seen his rating drop considerably.

It is among supporters of the National Rally (74%) and France Insoumise (62%) that Bayrou arouses the most rejection. Overall, the Attal government does not generate much enthusiasm among the French.
