reference news reported on september 8according to afp on september 7, a poll conducted by the french institute of public opinion for the sunday newspaper showed that most french people are satisfied with michel barnier's appointment as prime minister, but they do not expect him to stay in this position for long.
the poll was conducted online from september 5 to 6 with a sample of 950 people. the poll showed that after nearly two months of waiting after the national assembly election, 52% of respondents said they were satisfied with the appointment of the former european commissioner as head of government. this result is similar to the satisfaction of former prime minister gabriel attal when he took office (53%), and higher than elisabeth borne (47%) before attal.
the new prime minister, who comes from the right, is seen as competent (62% of respondents), willing to talk (61%) and likable (60%). he has the highest approval rating for these traits among macron's camp or republicans.
however, 74% of respondents believe that he will soon be ousted by a no-confidence motion in the national assembly, which is unprecedentedly divided.
