Elisabeth Borne receives mixed reviews from the French.
According to an Odoxa poll for
Le Figaro
, 57% of them say they are satisfied with the appointment of the former Minister of Labor as Prime Minister.
This is twelve points less than Édouard Philippe when he was appointed in 2017 (69%), compares the study.
If the arrival of a woman at Matignon is perceived as a good thing, it is a secondary fact for 65% of respondents, who consider that it is the policy that she will lead that counts.

Same observation on social networks: the study notes that beyond the symbol, the appointment of a woman to Matignon did not arouse particular enthusiasm or create momentum in favor of the majority in view of the legislative elections. .
For nearly seven out of ten French people, the new Prime Minister is seen as having authority (71%), as being competent, solid (69%) and dynamic (68%).
But for a majority, she is not close to the concerns of the French (57%), not able to stand up to Emmanuel Macron (55%) and is neither charismatic nor sympathetic (53%).
In addition, the appointment of Elisabeth Borne does not correspond, for 57% of those polled, to the turn announced by Emmanuel Macron for his second five-year term.
Only 41% of respondents believe that this choice is a sign that the president wants to lead the country differently than during his first term.
Supporters of the National Rally (78%), Reconquest!
(74%) and rebellious France are the most likely to believe that the appointment of the former Minister for Ecological Transition is a continuation of the first five-year term.
On the other hand, the name of Elisabeth Borne prints for seven out of ten French people (72%).
Satisfactory recognition compared to that of Édouard Philippe who, four months after entering Matignon, was only mentioned spontaneously by 62% of French people.
The difference is of course that the former tenant of rue de Varenne was almost unknown on the national scene before taking office, while Elisabeth Borne has already been minister three times.
