Macron’s Ratings near Record Low

French President Emmanuel Macron’s personal ratings are approaching their lowest recorded level over his handling of pension reform and protests, a poll showed on Tuesday.

The survey by the Odoxa polling group said only 30 percent of respondents thought he was a “good” president, down by 6 percentage points in a month, while 70 percent judged him negatively, AFP reported.

Macron’s popularity is approaching the low reached in December 2018 during the so-called Yellow Vest anti-government demonstrations, when only 27 percent of people held positive views of the president.
