President Emmanuel Macron's popularity rose slightly to 32% in October, compared to the previous month, unlike his Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, who fell to 30%, according to a monthly Ifop/Fiducial poll for Paris-Match and Sud-Radio published on Tuesday (October 3rd).
In comparison with September, the head of state gained one point of favorable opinions while the head of government lost three, returning to her July level. Only 20% of French people think that Emmanuel Macron is "close to their concerns", but more (39%) consider that he is "capable of reforming the country". They are 31% to believe that he has "a vision for the future of the French" and that he "leads a good economic policy".
According to this monthly barometer, price inflation, school bullying and the sale of fuel at cost price have been the three main topics of conversation of the French lately, far ahead of the senatorial elections or the announcement of ecological planning. Survey conducted online on September 28 and 29 by self-administered questionnaire with a representative sample of 1000 people aged 18 and over, using the quota method, with a margin of error between 1.4 and 3.1 percentage points.
