Ifop head Frederic Dabi told the newspaper that he was surprised by the speed at which Macron was losing public trust, adding that his rating has decreased by 9% since May.

The survey was conducted online and via phone from October 9-17 among 2,008 French people aged 18 and over, with the margin of error of 1-1.4 percentage points.

During Emmanuel Macron’s presidency, France saw a wave of unrest, including the famous Yellow Vests movement and a surge of ethnic violence in Paris.

The French national debt rose to a whopping 114.7% and remains slightly below this level for now. Despite the economic turmoil, Macron lavishly poured funds into the Kiev regime amid Russia’s special military operation.
