The Elysée finds a little oxygen. A BVA survey for RTL published on Friday indicates that Emmanuel Macron is regaining color in public opinion: the President of the Republic wins there, in one month, 6 points of favorable opinion, – a survey push which brings him to 32% popularity. If the head of state remains around 10 points below the low point of a year ago, when he is re-elected, he is no longer at his lowest level since the yellow vest crisis. Namely, 26% of good opinions among the respondents.

Emmanuel Macron then manages to mitigate the most negative judgments about him. The percentage of French people having a “very bad” opinion of him thus fell by 5 points, from 41 to 36%. Another positive data for the president, he gains 15 points from his electoral base in the first round of the presidential election, which is favorable to him at 85%.

Having made a sound slide since the start of 2023, relating to the debates and the progress of the pension reform, Emmanuel Macron had dragged his Prime Minister down with him. Elisabeth Borne had indeed reached only 27% of good opinions in April. Following the curve of the Elysée tenant, it dates back to May, jumping 5 points to 32%. Favorable news on the political front despite a dominant black spot for the president and the head of government: 67% of French people still have a bad opinion of the executive couple.
