French President Emmanuel Macron's approval rating has fallen to a six-year low of 24% according to the latest poll published in Les Echos. The only time his approval has been lower (23%) was in December 2018 during the height of the gilets jaunes protests. PM Gabriel Attal's approval has hit new lows, but still remains better than Macron's at 29%.
- Les Echos: "“This is a warning signal for the second round of the legislative elections,” warns Bernard Sananès [president of pollster Elabe]. LR voters and social democratic voters are not yet ready to follow Emmanuel Macron's call for unity. We do not see the beginning of a surge around Emmanuel Macron, or even his electorate."
- Attal's higher approval rating would seem to vindicate Macron's claim in a press conference on 12 June that it would be the PM, not the president, that would lead the election campaign for the centrist bloc of parties. Indeed, former PM Eduoard Philippe, who heads the centre-right Horizons party that sits as part of the presidential bloc said that it would not be “completely healthy for the President of the Republic to carry out a legislative campaign",
