Recent polls in France indicate a significant shift in public opinion towards President Emmanuel Macron, with a majority now calling for his resignation. According to a survey by Cluster17 for Le Point magazine, conducted between the proposal of a censure motion on Monday and the fall of Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government, 54% of French people are in favor of Macron resigning. A subsequent Oxoda poll revealed an even higher figure, with 59% of French voters expressing the desire for Macron to step down. This sentiment is driven by a broad spectrum of political affiliations, with support for his resignation ranging from 94% among La France Insoumise (LFI) supporters to 9% among Renaissance (RE) supporters. The polls reflect growing dissatisfaction with Macron's leadership, particularly in light of the recent political turmoil following the government's collapse.
