\nThe popularity of French President Emmanuel Macron has dropped to just 25 per cent, according to a major tracker poll published on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The poll by research group Ifop was published in the Journal du Dimanche a day after a nationwide \u201cyellow vest\u201d protest against high fuel prices that analysts say has come to represent widespread frustration with the 40-year-old president.<\/p>\n
The results of the widely watched poll showed an overall fall of four points in November from the previous month, with only four percent of respondents saying they were \u201cvery satisfied\u201d with Macron\u2019s performance, while 21 per cent were \u201cmostly satisfied\u201d.<\/p>\n
Thirty-four per cent were \u201cmostly dissatisfied\u201d while 39 percent were \u201cvery dissatisfied\u201d, according to the poll.<\/p>\n
The results reinforce a longer-term trend of French voters turning quickly on their presidents soon after their election something which also happened to Macron\u2019s predecessors Francois Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy.<\/p>\n
Macron\u2019s latest dip still has him higher than Hollande\u2019s 20 per cent at the same time of his term, while Sarkozy had a rating of 44 percent.<\/p>\n
Nearly 2,83,000 people took part in protests that channelled anger at Macron, a former investment banker who has pushed through a series of reforms aimed at bolstering economic growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
