Macron's approval rating falls to lowest point
French president Emmanuel Macron has been hit with his lowest ever approval rating as his popularity continues to tumble, The Independent reports.
Only 29 per cent of French citizens surveyed in September said they were satisfied with Mr Macron, according to a new Ifop poll – the lowest figure recorded by the firm during his presidency.
The leader’s rating has fallen from 34 per cent in August and 39 per cent in July. It follows a series of high-profile departures from his government and a summer scandal over the firing of his bodyguard.
The president was also heavily criticised last week for telling an unemployed man he could easily get a job simply by “crossing the street”.
