He must be very popular. You would think so, wouldn’t you?
It seems safe to assume, yes. A month ago, you would have been right. Macron had an approval rating of 62% on taking office in May, and in June it went up to 64%.
And now? As of this week, he’s down to 54%. This sort of precipitous decline has not been seen in France since Jacques Chirac shed 15 points in the mid-90s. Macron is even more unpopular than his predecessor, François Hollande, who managed an approval rating of 56% at the same stage of his presidency.
