Macron’s approval rating hits record low amid French political deadlock

French President Emmanuel Macron’s approval rating has plummeted to 23%, with 77% of citizens expressing dissatisfaction with his leadership, according to a new Odoxa and Mascaret poll.

The figures reflect a deepening public discontent as the government struggles to navigate a fragmented parliament.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu maintains a slightly higher approval rating of 33%.

The sharp decline in support coincides with the government's controversial move to bypass parliament to enact the 2026 budget, triggering multiple no-confidence motions.
