The poll, conducted by Odoxa for L’Express, la presse régionale and France Inter, showed that more than half of French people – some 56 per cent – think that Mr Macron is a “bad president”.
However, just under half of those surveyed, some 44 per cent, told Odoxa pollsters that they approved of the 39-year-old centrist’s actions as president, and that he was a “good” head of state.
The poll also found that a large majority of people in France, some 54 per cent, believe that Emmanuel Macron’s right-hand man, conservative Edouard Philippe, is not doing a good as prime minister, compared to 45 per cent who think he is.
The poll also showed than an overwhelming majority of French people – more than 80 per cent – think that Mr Macron’s tax policies favour the wealthy and the successful.
Four out of five respondents said that Mr Macron’s tax policies – including an overhaul of France’s controversial wealth tax – cater mainly to the rich, while 83 per cent said they catered mainly to the heads of large businesses.
