The French are mostly satisfied with the appointment of Michel Barnier to Matignon, but do not predict that he will last long in this post, according to an Ifop poll for the Journal du Dimanche.
According to this study, 52% of respondents say they are satisfied with the appointment of the former European Commissioner as head of government, after almost two months of waiting following the early legislative elections. A result similar to that of his predecessor Gabriel Attal when he took office (53%) and higher than that of Elisabeth Borne (47%).
The new Prime Minister, from the right, is first seen as competent (62% of those polled), open to dialogue (61%) and likeable (60%). He obtains his best scores on these image traits with supporters of the Macronist camp, or LR.
But in an assembly that is more fragmented than ever, 74% of those questioned think that he will be quickly overthrown by a motion of censure.
Survey conducted online from September 5 to 6, 2024, with a sample of 950 people, representative of the French population, aged 18 and over, according to the quota method. Margin of error between 1.4 and 3.1 points.
